Israeli troops will “very soon go into action” near the country’s northern border with Lebanon, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Monday, as tensions surge amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

This rumour has been running in the Middle East all week - that Israel is preparing to cross the border to South Lebanon. It seems incredible - but these are strange days.

Hezbollah has robust weapons stashes up there. Looks like Israel has finally
had it with terrorist organizations. I don’t blame them.

A risky move - it seems to me. Of course, I am always harping on about risk. That’s my nature.

A little morbid humor? If Biden had his way, he'd send arms to Lebanon and every other bunch of terrorists to use against Israel. He's already released billions of dollars to Iran, which obviously will be used to complete their nuclear program and harm Israel AND the U.S. I can hardly wait to read Biden's obituary. May it be soon, and rid the world of his out and out evil.

Until the Iranian mullahs and others who back terrorist organizations and pay them for their attacks are confronted and rebuked this will continue.

I know what you mean. Any activity like this raises concerns. I do think
Israel knows the risks and has it under control. We’ll see, of course.

While I believe that it is 100% necessary for Israel to destroy Hezbollah in the same way that they are in the process of destroying Hamas, I fail to see the obsession with western leaders announcing in advance what they are going to do. One of the keys to success in military operations is to not tell your enemy what you’re going to do in advance. I would think that a five-year-old would know this, let alone someone who is the defense minister of an advanced nation.

You are totally correct! But big talk and forward announcements have been the theme in this conflict.

A document warning of an extreme war scenario in the North and recommending preparations for several days of electricity blackout circulated among Justice Ministry employees on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the National Emergency Authority urged all government ministries to develop plans for a week-long blackout, anticipating a large-scale exercise said to occur in mid-February. Similar letters were also sent to directors of geriatric institutions.
