Relations between The tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, which is based in Lebanon, are becoming increasingly tense. If a new conflict arises between them, Ukraine may also come under attack.

According to Business Insider, if something like what is happening in the Gaza Strip breaks out between Israel and the Islamist movement, the situation will worsen. After all, Western countries cannot provide Ukraine with a sufficient amount of weapons, and in this case, some will also have to be given to Israel.

Ukraine will suffer, if Israel invades Lebanon

Israel and Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group operating out of Lebanon, regularly exchange fire after Hamas launched its cross-border terrorist attack from Gaza on Israel on October 7th. Although this fighting has so far been contained in the border region, it could escalate into a wider war, the material says.

It is noted that last month, IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that Hezbollah's “growing” aggression was putting Israel on the brink of what could become a “wider escalation that could have devastating consequences for Lebanon and the entire region.”

The publication claims that there is currently an increase in cross-border fire, with the Israeli Air Force intercepting more rockets and conducting operations against Hezbollah military bases in southern Lebanon.

Experts say that if tensions escalate and escalate into a full-scale armed conflict, Israel would need more ammunition, which would negatively impact the West's already strained artillery production.

This, of course, will affect the course of the war in Ukraine and support our state from the allies.

“The West is already under significant pressure just to satisfy the demand for artillery for the war in Ukraine. Therefore, any new conflict, whether in the Middle East or elsewhere, will increase supply problems here,” said Raphael Cohen, director of the Air Force Strategy and Doctrine Program at the RAND project.

At the same time, Catherine Levantovskaya, deputy director of the Advanced Defense Program at the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security at the Atlantic Council, also believes that Ukraine could suffer from the consequences of a new Israeli war.

According to her, redirecting artillery to Israel will significantly hinder Ukraine's military operations, force it to reduce its efforts and ultimately reduce the chances of holding strategic positions and territories.

Bloomberg recently wrote that Hezbollah fired more than 200 missiles and drones at Israeli military bases in revenge for the murder of its leader. Israeli troops responded to the attack Hezbollah Strikes Launchers in Lebanon.
