Israel has intensified its military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon as tensions mount across the region following recent escalations between Israel and Iran.

Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful regional ally, has signaled privately that it does not intend to attack Israel, but Lebanon’s military has bolstered its presence in the country’s south to prevent rocket fire.

The stance has been met with relief by war-weary in Lebanon, but there is still a possibility Hezbollah could change its position if Iran’s regime starts to wobble.
