Recent days have witnessed a significant uptick in tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, leading to a humanitarian crisis. Official data from Lebanon indicates that more than 100,000 people have been displaced due to the ongoing Israeli strikes.
Bahaa Hallal, a former brigadier general in the Lebanese Army, has voiced his concerns regarding the conflict. Hallal emphasized that the Israeli attacks on Lebanon serve multiple objectives, stating, \"The primary goal is to terrorize citizens in order to induce what is known as psychological and cognitive collapse.\"
Beyond addressing the immediate conflict, Hallal has made a heartfelt appeal to the international community. He urges global leaders and organizations to assist the affected populations in both Gaza and Lebanon, highlighting the alarming scale of civilian casualties resulting from the Israeli offensive.
The escalating situation underscores the urgent need for diplomatic intervention and humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of those caught in the crossfire.
