Israel versus Hezbollah: entering into a new stage of warfare
In 1970 the term “Black September” was coined in an Arab against Arab context - Jordanians against Palestinians. The PLO was beaten by the Hashemites and fled to Lebanon, destabilising it and attacking Israel from the North. Fast forward 54 years, and Hezbollah, Israel’s most potent hostile neighbour, has just suffered its own Black September, in four days of consecutive blows in Beirut and throughout Lebanon. It responded by extending the range of its stand-off attacks, which he started almost a year ago, but is yet to use its precision guided missiles or trying to strike Tel Aviv. So is this just a higher-intensity campaign, or the prelude to a full-scale war involving cross-border movements?
