On Friday, the Israeli military said it had hit Hezbollah command centres in eastern Lebanon and targets linked to the Palestinian group Hamas in the south

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah raises questions about the effectiveness of Lebanon's government in addressing militia power. Disarming Hezbollah could lead to a more peaceful Lebanon, but it also risks sparking further conflict if not handled delicately.

While some argue that Hezbollah's resistance is justified, it often results in civilian suffering and destabilizes Lebanon. A peaceful resolution would require all parties to prioritize diplomacy over military action to foster long-term stability.

Israel's right to defend itself is a crucial factor in the ongoing conflict. However, retaliatory strikes may provoke further violence, suggesting that a more proactive peace strategy is needed to address underlying issues rather than just responding to attacks.
