• Hezbollah is found in a state of humiliation and disorganization due to the attacks in Lebanon on September 17 and 18, attributed to Israel.
• These attacks are part of Israel's efforts to restore its deterrence capability in response to the security breach in Gaza in October 2023.
• The attacks raise questions about the distinction between civilians and military in the context of war.
• The methods used in these attacks can be seen as similar to those of the terrorism that is intended to combat.
• The tactical decisions made by the Israeli Prime Minister reinforce a belligerent approach rather than seeking the relief of tensions.
• Washington's unconditional military support for Israel plays a significant role in the dynamics of conflicts.
• Hezbollah, despite attempts to weaken it, remains a significant military force. Iran sees Hezbollah as an important asset to keep.

Conclusion: The ongoing conflicts and tensions could lead to uncontrollable escalation. All possible measures must be taken to guarantee peace and avoid an additional war in the Middle East.
