Lebanon on the brink of collapse… a “new Gaza” scenario and an Iranian-made war that will devour everything

Beirut, Lebanon – Lebanon is heading towards one of the most dangerous phases in its modern history, with escalating military confrontations on its southern border. Observers describe this situation as a replay of the Gaza Strip scenario, but in a more complex and dangerous form.

Border areas are witnessing intense exchanges of fire, amid fears that the country could slide into a full-blown war. This is especially true given the growing role of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah, which has become central to the confrontation with Israel.

Analysts believe that the events unfolding in Lebanon bear clear Iranian fingerprints, both in terms of military support and the management of the escalation. For this reason, Lebanon has become an open arena for regional conflict, where international and regional interests intersect.

Meanwhile, Lebanese civilians are paying the heaviest price, with the number of displaced people increasing and infrastructure being damaged. This is exacerbated by a crippling economic crisis that has plagued the country for years, compounding the humanitarian catastrophe.

International reports warn that the continuation of this escalation could transform Lebanon into a devastating war zone, similar to what the Gaza Strip has experienced. But the repercussions of the confrontation could extend to the entire region, given the absence of any clear prospect for a political solution.
