On the evening of October 11, several loud noises suddenly exploded on the Musaylih road, and the night sky was torn open by flames. Israeli warplanes blew up the roadside warehouse without saying hello. More than 300 engineering vehicles were scrapped on the spot. Lebanon President Aoun said this was a gross violation of sovereignty, but Israel said that they were only attacking illegal equipment hidden there by Hezbollah.
This air strike was not just a matter of war. High-voltage utility poles in places such as Tyre and Sidon were blown off, and tens of thousands of people stayed up in darkness all night. Warehouses were piled with bulldozers and excavators. Equipment that should be used to clear the ruins, but the Israeli army targeted them and bombed them all. Some people wondered how Hezbollah would hoard so many engineering vehicles, let alone put them all together. These machines were probably owned by the Lebanon government and were specially prepared to clean up the ruins in Gaza.
Netanyahu's move is puzzling. Just a few hours after the ceasefire agreement in Gaza was signed, he opened fire on Lebanon because his far-right allies said they would withdraw from the government. If he stood still, the cabinet would not be able to hold on. Fighting Lebanon at this time can not only draw away domestic dissatisfaction, but also make Trump feel that he is tough enough to kill two birds with one stone.
But for ordinary Lebanon people, the bulldozers have been blown up, the generators have stopped, and even the work of building houses has been ruined. Israeli artillery shells have shattered not only iron and steel, but also emerging hopes for peace. Now the whole world is asking where the next explosion will hit.
