The next phase of the war along the southern border of Lebanon is set to begin shortly, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said on Monday, as at least two US newspapers reported that special forces may have already made short incursions.
“The next stage in the war against Hezbollah will begin soon,” Gallant told a meeting of local council heads in northern Israel, according to a statement from his office. He said the next phase would contribute to achieving the war aim of returning residents evacuated from the area to their homes.

Is it ironic that Israel is essentially enforcing UN Security Council Resolution 1701 that Lebanon and the UNIFIL have failed to do…by reentering Southern Lebanon?

A news report from ken 11 news site in israel.
The north of Israel just became a closed military zone.
And reports of hezbollah field commanders escaping to Syria.

Next phase of war meaning invasion into a completely separate country? Cool bananas. Really happy my countries continue selling weapons to Israel, I’m sure in future years none of this will ever come back to bite us in the ass.
Lets hope all the Lebanese civilians are able to get somewhere safe.

Which is why I sold most of my stocks. I think the US is aware of future plans which is why they made the order for all US citizens and officials to exit yesterday. The conflict has been escalated and there is zero chance for peace now until something catastrophic happens.

Not that everything revolves around the US, but does it seem to anyone else like the US elections are playing a big role in the Israel-Iran dynamic right now?
We know that Iran doesn’t want Trump to be President. After the Soleimani assassination it would be pretty much impossible for any kind of diplomacy with a Trump administration, meaning there’s zero chance of sanctions bing lifted (not the only reason, to be sure).
The Israeli right-wing (Netanyahu and friends) *want* Trump to be President, because he’ll let them do whatever they want in Palestine and Lebanon, with no criticism and zero restrictions.
Having a major war start right now would no doubt be good for Trump and bad for Harris. So I guess the question is, are the Israelis intentionally escalating things right now to take advantage of the situation?
It seems like a win-win for them. If Iran doesn’t react, then they can gain an advantage. If Iran does react and it sets off a hot war, it helps Trump win.
I dunno, maybe I’m overthinking things, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Israel keeps escalating things to see how much more they can get away with.

They killed all the leaders, and they incapacitated a lot of mid management with the pager operation. Now they’re lunching the invasion as their is nobody left to manage anything anything.

This is going to be massive and very long-lasting. Hezbollah can and will launch rockets from Syria, Iraq and the Bekaa Valley. Netanyahu will try his best to get the US involved since Bibi’s main goal has always been regime change in Tehran.

Okay, so can someone explain the current Lebanon stance to me. Hezbollah aren’t the official government so is there a Lebanese army and are Israel going to be fighting them since they’d be invading a sovereign state unlike with Gaza
