Nadim Houry warns: Israel is no longer just fighting Hezbollah, 'it’s waging war on Lebanon'
Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
Nadim Houry warns Israel's military operations constitute war on Lebanon itself, not just against Hezbollah.
AI Summary
Nadim Houry has warned that Israel's military operations have escalated beyond targeting Hezbollah to constitute a broader war against Lebanon itself. According to Houry, the current conflict represents not just an immediate military confrontation but a deeper structural crisis rooted in decades of unresolved regional tensions. His assessment suggests that Israel's actions are reshaping Lebanon's sovereignty and strategic positioning in ways that extend far beyond the militant group's role in the country. The characterization underscores how the conflict has evolved into a threat to Lebanon's state institutions and independence, rather than remaining a targeted counterterrorism operation. Houry's warning reflects growing concern that Lebanon as a whole—not merely Hezbollah—faces destabilization from the widening military campaign.
