This blog delves into the intricate details surrounding this event, exploring its causes, immediate consequences, and potential implications for the future.

  A Detailed Overview The conflict between Lebanon and Israel, particularly the role of Hezbollah, is a complex and long-standing issue rooted in political, religious, and territorial disputes. This blog aims to break down the key elements of the conflict, the involvement of Hezbollah, and the broader regional implications, using straightforward language. Historical Background The tension between Lebanon and Israel dates back to the mid-20th century, particularly after the establishment of Israel in 1948. The Arab-Israeli conflict over Palestinian territories was a major source of friction, and Lebanon, with its diverse religious communities, became involved in the broader Arab resistance against Israel. Over the years, border disputes and regional alliances further escalated the tensions. Lebanon itself faced internal issues, including civil wars (most notably from 1975-1990) and political instability. These problems created a vacuum that groups like Hezbollah exploited to gai

  Manchester City put one hand on the Premier League title on Wednesday night following a resounding 4-1 win over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. Kevin de Bruyne was the man of the match with a goal in either half. The Belgian now has seven goals against the north London giants – the most he has managed against a single club in his club career. Erling Braut Haaland also entered the Premier League record books last night following his late stoppage time goal. The Norwegian now has 33 goals for the campaign – breaking the record held by Mohamed Salah for a 38-game season. Alan Shearer and Andy Cole currently hold the joint-custody for the most goals in a Premier League season at 34 but that should be eclipsed by Haaland with City having another seven league games left. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola continued his dominance over Arsenal with his 20th managerial victory over them – five more than he has managed against any other opponent.  The Gunners have now lost 12 league matches on the bounce

  Premier League top-four hopefuls Manchester United travel to the Vitality Stadium to meet bottom-half Bournemouth in a must-win clash on Saturday. Tickets for this game will be in limited supply, so if you are looking to  buy your football tickets  online make sure you get them sorted quickly. Despite securing survival on their top-flight return, the Cherries are keen to avoid ending a decent league season with a whimper after losing back-to-back matches.  After a 3-1 home loss to out-of-sorts Chelsea, Gary O’Neil’s side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace last weekend and could make it three in a row for the first time since a run of four between December-January. However, they can draw confidence from winning their final fixture at the Vitality in three of their five previous Premier League seasons (D1, L1), while Man Utd’s travel sickness can only further their cause. Erik ten Hag’s side thumped Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 at home last time out to maintain a one-point lead o
