Libanonilaiset kärsivät jälleen, kun Israel ja Hizbollah ottavat yhteen Iranin pommitusten varjossa | Alusta! | Tampereen korkeakouluyhteisö
Libanonin tilanne kytkeytyy laajempaan alueelliseen konfliktiin, jossa Iran tukee Hizbollahia. Jännitteet liittyvät myös Gazan sotaan. Libanon on valmiiksi kriisissä: taloudella menee huonosti ja poliittinen järjestelmä on halvaantunut. Yhteenotot pahentavat Libanonin siviilien tilannetta entisestään, kun ihmiset joutuvat pakenemaan kodeistaan ja peruspalvelut ovat jo valmiiksi äärirajoilla.
