Countries directly involved in these tensions, or whose own outlets cover them.
Israeli sources frame the northern border conflict as a self-defense theater triggered by Hezbollah's October 8 "support front" and rocket fire that displaced ~60,000 Israelis from the Galilee. Operational goal: restore UN Resolution 1701 by force, push Hezbollah north of the Litani, eliminate its precision-guided missile arsenal and senior command. Beirut strikes on Hezbollah leadership (including Nasrallah) are presented as legitimate decapitation operations. The vocabulary is "Hezbollah aggression", "northern displaced", "Litani", "1701 enforcement", "precision-guided missile project", "deterrence restored", "decapitation strike". Prescription: continue military pressure until Hezbollah accepts withdrawal from the border zone; reject any diplomatic settlement that leaves Hezbollah's arsenal in place.
Hezbollah-aligned outlets (Al Mayadeen, Press TV, Al-Akhbar) and pan-Arab commentary frame the northern front as legitimate solidarity resistance with Gaza. Hezbollah's rocket fire is presented as proportionate pressure on the IDF to ease Gaza operations; Israeli strikes on Beirut suburbs are framed as collective punishment of Lebanon and assassinations of resistance leadership. The vocabulary is "support front", "solidarity with Gaza", "Israeli aggression on Lebanon", "Beirut massacre", "Dahieh", "martyrs of the resistance", "victory of the resistance". Prescription: continue military pressure on Israel until Gaza ceasefire; reject Lebanese state cooperation with Israeli security demands; preserve Hezbollah as the de facto deterrent against Israel.
