A massacre carried out by Hezbollah, Iran's terror proxy, could result in a full-blown war in the Middle East.

An all-out war is expected to occur between Israel and the Iranian regime-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah, according to Israel's Foreign Minister Katz.

The attack on a soccer field in Majdal Shams, which resulted in the death of 12 children, has been identified as the tipping point for Israel's decision to fight back against Hezbollah, according to U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon. He stated that the response would be swift, harsh, and painful.

On Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that its air force had targeted 10 Hezbollah terror sites in seven different areas in southern Lebanon. The IDF also eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist in the Bayt Lif area and struck a weapons storage facility, terror infrastructure sites, military structures, and a launcher in southern Lebanon. This came after 10 projectiles crossed into Israeli territory earlier today, resulting in the death of one civilian.

There is speculation that the current IDF strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon are a prelude to a larger Israeli attack against its foe in the north.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, whose ruling mullahs call for the extermination of Israel and frequently chant "Death to Israel" and "Death to America," considers Hezbollah, a Lebanese-based terrorist movement, as its primary strategic partner.

On "The Story with Martha MacCallum," former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo attributed Hezbollah's jingoistic targeting of Israel to Iran's regime. He stated that the actions were coordinated, approved, and funded by Iran, and that the outcome would depend on the world's response. Pompeo emphasized the need for international sanctions and the denial of Iran's wealth to stop their terror campaign.

Hezbollah, backed by Iran, is equipped with over 150,000 aerial warfare weapons, including precision guided missiles, which Israel is fighting against on multiple fronts.

Experts on the volatile Middle East were contacted by Planet Chronicle Digital for their opinions on whether the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel could lead to a World War 3.

According to Brigadier General (Res) Amir Avivi, a former deputy commander of the IDF Gaza Division, the possibility of a third World War depends on American deterrence. Israel may face a full-scale war with Lebanon, which could happen in the coming months. The way the U.S. deters the Yemenis, Iranians, and Turks will determine whether we are on the path to a third world war or a military attack of Israel focused on Lebanon without the whole Middle East being drawn into the conflict. Avivi believes that the problem is that the U.S. is too focused on elections while on the ground, there is a multi-front war.

Avivi, the founder of the Israel Defense and Security Forum, stated that the major concern is the U.S. policy when Israel carries out a full-scale attack on Lebanon.

He continued, "Will Biden send the message 'Don't' again and become serious, sending forces to the Middle East?"

The Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence director, Matthew Levitt, stated that both Israel and Hezbollah desire to avoid an all-out war, but the possibility of miscalculation is extremely high. In the event of a conflict, Iranian proxies would likely attempt to intervene.

If the redeployment of Lebanese Hezbollah in the north leads to avoiding war, it could ultimately help, according to Levitt, who is widely considered the leading U.S. expert on Hezbollah.

He stated that the redeployment of Hezbollah would necessitate the implementation of something similar to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 to tackle not only the rocket threat but also the threat of an Oct. 7-style attack on the northern border.

The 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel ended with the passing of Resolution 1701, which called for Hezbollah to be disarmed and to retreat from the Israel-Lebanon border area. However, Hezbollah, the de facto ruler over Lebanon, has not honored this resolution.

The U.N.'s inability to enforce resolution 1701 has empowered Hezbollah, as reported by Planet Chronicle in June.

Levitt stated that Israeli citizens living in the north are concerned about Hezbollah forces from Lebanon crossing the border and not returning home. If this issue is not resolved, the Majdal Shams attack may provide support to those in Israel who advocate for addressing the Lebanon Hezbollah challenge immediately.

Israel's former IDF spokesman, Jonathan Conricus, stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran will benefit from Israel's continued focus on Iran's proxies instead of the Iranian revolutionary guard. As a result, Iran will likely maintain its strategy of providing weapons to terror organizations around Israel, keeping it engaged and in a perpetual state of fighting. Until Israel changes its strategy against Iran, the likelihood of decades of continued fighting and instability in the Middle East remains high.

According to Conricus, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Israel is unlikely to engage Hezbollah in an all-out war since its main area of operations is the Gaza Strip. Instead, Israel will likely retaliate against Hezbollah in a way that is public and difficult for the Lebanese terror organization to conceal, but not at a level that would constitute war.

Israel has been conducting a successful surgical campaign against senior enemy combatants in Lebanon, resulting in minimal collateral damage, while Hezbollah has already killed 24 Israeli civilians and 22 Israeli soldiers since October 8. The human toll in Israel is significantly higher than the Israeli population's tolerance, so Israel must respond with significant actions against Hezbollah's aggression.

Since October, 80,000 Israelis have been displaced due to Hezbollah's rocket, drone, and missile attacks in northern Israel.

Beni Sabti, an expert on Iran from the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, stated that Israel is still occupied with the Gaza front and must maintain its objective of weakening or destroying Hamas as much as possible. He added that there is significant pressure from France and the U.S. to avoid bombing Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.

Unfolding is Israel's medical readiness for a third conflict with Hezbollah, which occurred in 1982 and 2006.

As Israel's National Emergency Service provider, Magen David Adom is always ready for any situation, whether it's the best or worst-case scenario, according to Eli Bin, its director general.

"Our staff and 30,000 volunteers are fully prepared for any situation, including a complete power, telephone, and radio outage. Although our AI-powered dispatch system allows us to provide medical assistance quickly, we are also ready to operate manually by transmitting messages via messengers on motorcycles."

Eli Bin stated that the Magen David Adom Marcus National Blood Services Center is safeguarded against missile and chemical attacks, ensuring the country's blood supplies remain secure underground. In the event of a full-scale war, we will continue to provide blood to hospitals and the IDF using all available resources, including armored ambulances, off-road vehicles, motorcycles, and even helicopters.

This week, Turkey's actions destabilized the Middle East by threatening to invade Israel and supporting the Hamas terrorist movement that invaded Israel and killed nearly 1,200 people, including over 30 Americans.

Although the Turkish leader's comments may be reckless and aggressive, as he is the head of a NATO member country, the likelihood of Türkiye taking escalatory actions against Israel is low. However, terrorist groups in the region will likely receive moral and spiritual support from his belligerent threats against Israel.
