The New York Times' report is shocking; is Netanyahu trying to push Lebanon further into the fire? With Hezbollah's stronghold taken down, retaliation will definitely be fiercer, and the Middle East's oil pot is about to boil again.

According to a report by The New York Times on June 1, Netanyahu ordered strikes on Dahiyeh in the southern suburbs of Beirut, expanding military operations against Hezbollah. Thousands of residents evacuated, main roads congested, and markets worried that the fragile ceasefire could be reignited. Since the U.S.-Iran ceasefire in April, Israel has largely avoided direct strikes on central Beirut but has conducted airstrikes in southern and eastern Lebanon, while Hezbollah continues attacks on Lebanese and northern Israeli targets. Dahiyeh is an important stronghold for Hezbollah, and residents have long evacuated. Analysts say this move will escalate the situation and may intensify tensions in the Middle East.
