The prospect of a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah terrifies people on both sides of the border. Many see it as an inevitable fallout from Hezbollah's ongoing support for Hamas. United States Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has said that a diplomatic solution is needed to avoid a devastating war between Israel and the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah. Despite launching thousands of rocket and drone attacks against Israel, the Iran-linked group continues to gaslight the world stating that it is not interested in a wider war. Lebanon's continuing financial and governance problems have allowed Hezbollah to become the dominant military and political power. The Iran-backed terrorist group is both a political party that operates as part of the duly elected government and a rogue actor with its own standing army and governance system.
