Escalating Tensions: Lebanon's Role in Israel's Multiple Fronts

As Israel prepares for a full-scale war against Hamas, there is a growing concern that violence may escalate along Israel's northern border with Lebanon, potentially leading to a second front between Israel and Hizballah. While Hizballah has the means to target Israeli territory, it has thus far chosen not to escalate the situation further. To avoid a full-blown war, the United States should continue signaling support for Israel, and Israel needs to restore its deterrence by achieving significant results in its war against Hamas. It is crucial to prevent a second front from opening between Israel and Hizballah, as the damage from such a war would be far greater than the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
