Asked to write an argumentative essay about the Israeli attack on Gaza.
There is another big event in the Middle East! This time, Hezbollah in Lebanon "stirred up a hornet's nest": On June 5438+02, Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon launched a surprise attack in the disputed area of Lebanon-Israel border, killing seven Israeli soldiers and kidnapping two others, which was another kidnapping incident after Palestinian armed kidnapping 1 Israeli soldier. Israeli troops immediately entered southern Lebanon in search of soldiers and bombed many targets. With the ongoing "Summer Rain" action of the Israeli army against the Palestinian armed forces in Gaza, the long-lost phenomenon of the Israeli army fighting on both sides has formed, and the Middle East has once again fallen into chaos. On June 5438+03, Israel expanded its retaliation against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israeli military officials said that the Israeli army attacked about 40 targets in Lebanon. In addition to aerial bombing and cross-border search by ground forces, Israeli naval vessels entered Lebanese waters on 13 and blocked Lebanese ports. In addition, the Israeli Air Force bombed Beirut International Airport for the first time since 3 June 1982. 13, Israeli forces bombed Beirut International Airport, the Lebanese capital, and the airport was forced to close for 48 hours. Lebanese police said that the Israeli army blew up the airport runway and the main road leading to the city center, but the airport terminal and aircraft were not damaged. Two planes preparing to land at this airport had to return to Larnaca airport in Cyprus. In addition, Beirut airport has asked all flights to Beirut to land in neighboring Cyprus. In a statement, the Israeli army confirmed the attack and described Beirut International Airport as a "hub for transferring and supplying weapons to Hizbullah". The purpose of this operation is to cut off the air passage in and out of Beirut. This is the first explosion at Beirut International Airport since 1982 when Israel invaded Lebanon. 1968, an Israeli civilian plane was attacked by armed men at Athens airport. In retaliation, the Israeli army sent paratroopers to blow up all 13 Lebanese civilian planes parked at Beirut airport. On June 5438+02, seven hours after the operation of Hezbollah guerrillas, Israel sent fighter planes, helicopter gunships and ground troops into southern Lebanon. However, according to the Israeli military, the actions of the Israeli army have suffered the most serious losses since the withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000. Israeli TV 10 reported that two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped and seven soldiers were killed in an attack by Hezbollah guerrillas. After entering Lebanon for a search operation, another tank struck a mine and five soldiers died on the spot. Senior Israeli military officials also said helplessly that up to now, the efforts of Israeli ground forces to find two kidnapped soldiers have all failed and no clues have been found. In retaliation for Israel, on June 38+03, Hezbollah continued to fire dozens of rockets at various targets in northern Israel, killing/kloc-0 Israelis and injuring 29 others. It is worth noting that the rocket hit more than 20 kilometers south of the Israel-Lebanon border, which also means that the attack scope of Hezbollah guerrillas has obviously expanded. Reuters commented that this is the most serious conflict between Lebanon and Israel since 1996. Nasrallah, general secretary of Hezbollah in Lebanon, said on June 5438+02 that the purpose of kidnapping Israeli soldiers was to exchange Arab prisoners held by Israel. Nasrallah said: "The hostages will not be released unless through direct negotiation and exchange." Nasrallah also said that he is willing to consider a package agreement, that is, two Israeli soldiers and Israeli soldiers kidnapped by Palestinian militants two weeks ago in exchange for Arab prisoners. He said: "Capturing these two Israeli soldiers can provide a solution to the Gaza crisis ... Now 1 (Israeli soldiers detained by Palestinian armed forces) plus 2 (Israeli soldiers detained by Hezbollah) equals 3." He also admitted: "There is no doubt that this opportunity was chosen to support our Palestinian brothers." He also warned that if Israel believes that military means can work, it is only an "illusion." He said that the kidnapped Israeli soldiers were "in a safe and very far place" and Hezbollah guerrillas were ready to fight. But he also added: "We have no intention of intensifying the situation and can consider any ceasefire proposal." Hezbollah TV 13 also reported that Hezbollah guerrillas fired several Katyusha rockets at the Israeli town of Shemona and the coastal city of Nahariya near the border. This is to "retaliate against Israel for killing civilians and attacking the infrastructure in southern Lebanon." The Israeli army subsequently confirmed that the Katyusha rocket of Hezbollah guerrillas killed/kloc-0 Israeli women and injured 29 people, one of whom was seriously injured. It is worth noting that the rocket hit more than 20 kilometers south of the Israel-Lebanon border, which also means that the attack scope of Hezbollah guerrillas has obviously expanded. The mayor of Nahariya said that the whole city has been "closed", all businesses in the city have stopped operating, and the government has ordered residents to go underground to avoid rockets fired by Hezbollah guerrillas. Earlier in the day, Hezbollah guerrillas also fired 65,438+00 rockets at an Israeli military base in Meilong Mountain, but no casualties were caused. Witnessed fierce fighting, machine gun strafing and fighter planes hovering. Witnesses said in an interview that the exchange of fire between IDF and Hezbollah in Lebanon was extremely fierce, which broke the quiet life of local residents. Akram Aviu, a 45-year-old poultry farmer in the border area between Lebanon and Israel, said in an interview, "The fighting between the Israeli army and Hezbollah guerrillas is very fierce. An Israeli tank was destroyed by guerrillas, and the fragments produced by the explosion killed 1 soldier on the spot. No matter who shoots or fires shells, my chicken will stop laying eggs, which will take several weeks to return to normal. It's really scary. In an underground fortification on the border between Lebanon and Israel, IDF soldiers kept shooting machine guns at the Lebanese side. Above our heads, two combat helicopters are hovering, and they also throw jamming bombs from time to time to avoid being hit by Hezbollah missiles. These two helicopters fired four missiles at the guerrillas on the Lebanese side. " Hezbollah in Lebanon is a Shiite political party, which was founded during Israel's invasion of Lebanon and funded by Iran. Expelled from the south of the country by the army, it became famous in the Arab world. In the early 1990s, Hizbullah formed an alliance with Syria, with about 25,000 well-equipped militia in southern Lebanon. The fate of Hizbullah is closely related to Syria in many ways. Hezbollah also stepped up its efforts to change its guerrilla image and began to set foot in mainstream politics. At present, Hezbollah members have appeared in the Lebanese parliament. Southern Lebanon 1978 During the civil war in Lebanon, Israel took the opportunity to invade Lebanon and occupied nearly 850 square kilometers of territory in southern Lebanon. In order to ensure the security of northern Israel, Israel has established a "security zone" there. Although the Security Council adopted several resolutions demanding Israel's unconditional withdrawal, Israel refused to withdraw on the condition that the Lebanese government must stop the anti-Israel activities of the resistance groups. However, due to repeated wars and losses, on May 24, 2000, all Israeli troops withdrew. However, Israel did not withdraw from the Saba Farms. Lebanon believes that Saba Farm is Lebanese territory and Israel should return it to Lebanon. However, Israel believes that this land is Syrian territory and should be resolved by both Syria and Israel.
