The recent attacks on the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, involving exploding pagers and walkie-talkies, have resulted in at least 37 deaths and nearly 3,500 injuries. Tensions escalated when a top Hezbollah commander was killed in an airstrike by Israel on Beirut’s southern suburbs on September 20.
Georges Saghir, a political and military strategic analyst and former brigadier general in the Lebanese Army, shared his insights on these events. “It’s hard for Israel to do it by itself,” he stated. “Israel, I think, has been helped by the United States to do that.”
Saghir’s comments suggest potential collaboration between Israel and the United States in operations against Hezbollah, raising questions about international involvement in the region’s ongoing conflicts.
