The Israeli military says it has begun a 'limited, localized' operation against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
It said it was carrying out 'targeted ground raids' in villages close to the Israeli border. The targets, it said, pose an 'immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel.'
It announced early Tuesday that the operation has been planned in recent months and was launched after approval by political leaders.
The Israeli military launched small ground raids against Hezbollah and sealed off communities along its northern border on Monday as Israeli artillery pounded southern Lebanon and signals grew that more forces could soon be sent across the border to fight the Iran-backed militants.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is sending a 'few thousand' troops to the Middle East to bolster security and to defend Israel if necessary, the Pentagon said Monday.
The announcement follows word that Israel has already launched limited raids across the border into Lebanon.
The additional forces would raise the total number of troops in the region to as many as 43,000.
The increased presence will involve multiple fighter jet and attack aircraft squadrons, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters. U.S. officials said the total includes small numbers of other troops to augment the presence as well.
The additional personnel includes squadrons of F-15E, F-16, and F-22 fighter jets and A-10 attack aircraft, and the personnel needed to support them.
The jets were supposed to rotate in and replace the squadrons already there. Instead, both the existing and new squadrons will remain in place to double the airpower on hand.
On Sunday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced that he was temporarily extending the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group and its embarked air wing in the region. A U.S. official said the extension will be for about a month.

Prayers for a reliable supply line.
who’s gonna be involved in this “all out war”?
iran?
Russia is slowly winning in Ukraine, but SLOWLY.
They’re gonna get mixed up in WWIII?
NK and China have no reason to inervene. China may decide now is a good time to catch the US off guard but every report, even by defectors from China says that they won’t be ready for AT LEAST another 5 years.
When one says ALL OUT WAR, they need to state who’s going to be involved.
Beause Isreal and The US against Iran and Syria and whoever else fromt hose s....e arab countries would be an arab slaughter.
why take a chance?
Let that sink in.
Defend them by telegraphing their plans.
There are a lot of people that are very pro Israel on here.
I’m more of a “they’re a good country and ally and surrounded by hate” type of guy.
They hit the houthis hard and yes for their interests but it helps us as the houthi scum have been trying to wreck our ships now for years.
A “complex” attac on US ships took place the other day.
Israel can handle itself...but yeah, God forbid it can’t I want the US to help.
We help with everythign else!! Helping Israel isn’t what will start WWIII.
Giving Ukraine a bazillion dollars for a losing effort might.
Falling behind China in the military race might.
Smashing Iran won’t.
OR I could be completely wrong and you are completely right.
I’m not much of a geopolitical expert :)
Joe, Any National Guard going to NC, GA and TN to help those people?
>> Prayers for a reliable supply line.
Yep.
Happy Election Year October! Put on your armor and fight on your knees! (I wonder why Paul didn’t include kneepads in Eph 6:11+.)
The US is sending a few thousand more troops to the Middle East to boost security

to defend Israel if necessary,
We sure about that? I’m not, not after hearing blitherin Biden screeching about a cease fire.
setting trump up for his win in November. when do we start punishing these evil pric## in government
‘ALL OUT WAR?’
What the hell do they call what’s happening now?...............
All out war with Hizb-Allah?
The Israeli “adventurism” MUST BE CONTAINED! Just like the Gaza “defenders” had to be resupplied by means of the floating dock built for that purpose (until it floated away).
“U.S sending thousands more troops and aircraft to the Middle East amid fears of all-out war as Israel invades Lebanon”
I wonder if Zelensky knows he’s no longer the Poster Girl of the Neocons, as the Neocons are now drooling their eyes over a new babe.
US troops would just be in the way if they tried to help Israel. They should be their to learn how to fight and watch how real leaders handle their enemies.
Just a side note on this:
The USS Truman Carrier Strike Group left last week for a SCHEDULED deployment to 5th (middle east) and 6th (Mediterranean) fleets.
We are going to walk into a regional strife 3500 years old.
What could go wrong.
