Israel ne March 2, 2026 ko Lebanon ke Beirut par airstrikes kiya, jab Hezbollah ne uske border ko paar karke missile attack kiya tha. Yeh Hezbollah ka ek saal se zyada samay baad Israel par kaise claim kiya gaya pehla strike tha. Israeli military ne confirm kiya ki usne ek projectile intercept kiya, jabki doosre missiles khali areas mein gir gaye, koi injury ya damage report nahi hui. Hezbollah ne is attack ko Iran ke Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ki hatyara ke jawab mein justify kiya aur "barbar Israeli aggressions" ka bhi zikr kiya.
Ye tensions badh rahe hain kyunki Khamenei ki death ke baad regional tensions aur zyada badh gaye hain, jo Hezbollah aur doosre Iran-backed groups ke liye ek highly respected figure the. Beirut ke south suburbs mein, Hezbollah ke hazaaron supporters ne Khamenei ki death par shok manaya, "death to America, death to Israel" jaise slogans lagaye aur Iranian leader ke loss par grief process kiya.
Israeli strikes Hezbollah ke missile barrage ka direct jawab the, jise 2024 mein U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement violate kiya gaya tha. Yeh ceasefire Israel aur Hezbollah ke beech ek saal se zyada intense fighting ko khatam karne ke liye tha, jismein Israeli strikes ne Iran-backed militant group ko kaafi kamzor kar diya tha. Ceasefire ke baad se hi, dono taraf se frequently violations ke accusations ho rahe hain, tensions ko barqarar rakh rahe hain.
Israeli military ne kaha ki usne ek launch intercept kiya, jabki doosre projectiles khali areas mein gir gaye, is baat par zyada zor diya ki koi damage ya casualties report nahi hui. Lekin Beirut par strikes ne fragile truce mein ek tezi se deterioration dikhaya hai, jisse hostilities ke dobara shuru hone ki chinta badh gayi hai.
Hezbollah ke statement ne missile attack ko ek retaliatory measure ke taur par frame kiya, directly link kiya Khamenei ki hatyara se. Group historically Iran ke interests ke saath align raha hai, aur supreme leader ki death ne likely iske resolve ko aur majboot kiya hai Israel ke perceived provocations ka jawab dene ke liye.
Yeh incident region ki persistent volatility ko highlight karta hai, jahan proxy conflicts aur retaliatory strikes Lebanon aur surrounding areas ko destabilize kar rahe hain. Israel ke Beaufort Castle par capture ne dynamics aur complex kar diya hai, kyunki ye strategic fortress ongoing conflict mein historical aur military significance rakhta hai.
Jab situation develop ho rahi hai, international observers closely monitoring kar rahe hain ki kya ye latest escalation broader confrontation mein badal sakti hai ya phir diplomatic efforts se phir se calm restore ho sakta hai.
