The Lebanese people’s fear that their country would be dragged into a war with Israel are being compounded with the announcement of armed groups, besides Hezbollah, that they had launched rockets from southern Lebanon at Israeli settlements. Some of these groups are well-known, such as Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, while others are new, like the Fajr (Dawn) Forces that are affiliated with the Jamaa al-Islamiya, the Lebanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Forces announced that they have joined the “resistance axis” that is led by Iran-backed Hezbollah.
