The Middle East could get even uglier, with Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah ready to wage war on Israel

A brutal war is looming between the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah and Israel.

The Iran-backed radicals began firing anti-tank missiles and drones at Israel Oct. 8, one day after Hamas carried out its mass slaughter of 1,200 Israelis.

Four months later, the attacks — more than 700 and counting — haven’t stopped.

Israel has gotten the better of Hezbollah in most of these exchanges, destroying the group’s strategic assets and killing nearly 200 well-trained fighters.

But it has been at a terrible price.

Nearly 100,000 Israeli citizens of communities along the border have been forced to flee their homes.
