Early in the morning of October 11, southern Lebanon was supposed to be a quiet night, but during the day's quiet, Israeli aircraft suddenly flew in the direction of Muselikh, breaking the sky and dropping bombs.
After 10 consecutive rounds of bombing, the target locked an important regional passage. Explosions came one after another, and the flames soared into the sky. The explosion point also involved engineering equipment warehouses and transmission towers, and the whole southern area instantly plunged into darkness.
This raid occurred less than 24 hours after the ceasefire agreement just reached in the Gaza Strip came into effect.
On the one hand, the suspension button has just been pressed, and on the other hand the opening whistle has been sounded, this sudden operation of "continuing to fight in another direction" adds to the outside world's concerns about the already fragile peace atmosphere in the Middle East.
This time, peace has just "warmed up", but the smoke has already changed the track.
The Israeli airstrike against Lebanon was not only sudden but also clever.
Judging from the timing, it has just "withdrawn" troops from Gaza and immediately "opened fire" in Lebanon. On the surface, it looks like a "strategic shift." On closer inspection, it looks more like a political balance of "internal and external attacks."
Israel's domestic politics is currently facing no small pressure, the coalition government has been loose in structure, and the far-right faction frequently voiced calls for Hezbollah "hard hand".
In this atmosphere of public opinion, the government must maintain stability and use a "proactive strike" move that can not only appease internal voices, but also demonstrate that "we are not soft."
At the international level, the United States has repeatedly expressed "restraint" expectations for Israel on the Gaza issue, and military support has begun to tighten.
In this context, Israel chose to attack Lebanon, which is equivalent to changing the direction of its "action" and changing the channel of "force". It does not confront the US position head-on and can continue to maintain a "security-proactive" attitude. It seems to be a typical set of "domestic and external considerations."
The problem, however, is that the operation of “finding out this side of the battle,” although politically scoring, could bury a deeper hidden danger militarily.
The southern Lebanon is not a vacuum, and the presence of Hezbollah has always filled the region with uncertainty.
The targets of this Israeli air strike were not only military sites, but also a batch of heavy engineering vehicles and key power facilities, which made the nature of the whole matter subtle.
The most controversial thing in this air strike was the destroyed engineering equipment.
The Israeli side argued that the vehicles were linked to Hezbollah and were “military disguised spots,” and even released satellite images indicating that the devices had an unusual heat source at night and allegedly contained weapons.
But the Lebanese side immediately rejected, saying the engineering vehicles were government procurement for infrastructure reconstruction projects in the south after the disaster, and also presented relevant contracts and UN files.
In other words, one said it was “the arsenal of guns that covered the bell,” while the other said it was “civil equipment for building bridges.”
Both sides hold their own words and cannot tell whether they are true or false, but one thing is an indisputable fact: when these cars exploded, the power supply system in southern Lebanon collapsed.
The main power grid was broken, the hospital entered a state of emergency, and the backup power supply began to tighten for a while.
The breathing machines were powered off, the emergency guards were shut down, and those formerly vulnerable lives were more impotent in the war.
Even worse, food reserves also became a problem.Some supporting storage points were also damaged in the explosion, transportation lines interrupted, and emergency food on hand was only enough to support for a few days.
This was not a simple "air strike," but a direct hit on the lives of the Lebanon people.
At this point, it is difficult not to ask a single question: if these targets were not really military facilities, was the airstrike attacked by the enemy, or was it the basis for the survival of ordinary people?
This also reflects another reality: in modern warfare, the boundaries between military targets and civilian facilities are becoming increasingly blurred.
As long as the phrase "doubt in terror", a lot of things can be considered as the target of the strike. and this vague, also often let the cost of war, fall to the heads of the most innocent.
As soon as the Lebanese side was bombed, a "response" from a distance followed.
Yemen's Houthi armed forces have expressed support for Hezbollah, saying they will "take action."
On the Iranian side, media sources said that the Revolutionary Guards had transferred some air defense equipment to Lebanon. Although the action is not big yet, the attitude has already been expressed-this matter will not be let go.
The contradiction in the land of the Middle East is often not a “single trigger”, but a “sequential reaction”.
A border explosion is likely to involve the security chains of several countries.
The Red Sea route, the Persian Gulf passage, and the Syrian border could all be “activated” as a result.
The international community has also begun to sit down, with the UAE, Russia, China and other parties calling for the stabilization of the situation as soon as possible and pushing forward the draft of the UN Security Council.
The United States, on the other hand, still maintained its usual "low-key handling" this time and did not directly express its position on Israel's actions, but only "expressed concern."
This leads the outside world to speculate whether the U.S. is still implied in Israel’s “self-defense” logic.
But the problem is that although this approach stabilizes alliance relations in the short term, it may make the situation in the Middle East more uncontrollable in the long term.
Every default may be interpreted as a “green signal”; every silence may be understood as “can continue.”
And this situation of "frontal talks" has become the normal situation in the Middle East. the negotiating table has been confiscated, and the warplanes have taken off again.
The agreement had not even cooled when the explosion came out again. The so-called "peace" in this state is actually more like a "pause" that may be interrupted at any time.
From the ceasefire in Gaza to the firing in Lebanon, this seemingly "transition" operation is actually a new manifestation of old problems in the Middle East.
The ceasefire agreement was like a freshly extinguished fire, still steaming, and as a result, a new fire was lit on the other side.
This time, engineering vehicles and transmission towers were hit, affecting hospitals and granaries.
The cost of war is increasingly reflected not only on the military level, but directly into the lives of ordinary people, and in these explosions the voice of peace is weak.
True peace can not be achieved by a ceasefire, nor can it beined by saying a few diplomatic dictates.It requires all parties to really let down the idea of "fighting a struggle" and also requires the international community to keep a clear judgment of every "ambiguous strike".
It is not that no one in the Middle East wants peace, but that too many people are using war to manage peace.
The problem is that peace should not be managed, it should be the result of respect for life and respect for reality.When explosions become everyday, peace is no longer the word of agreement, but the actual response to whether every ordinary person can have a safe life.
