Not days or weeks or even months- within hours. Because this was the plan and it’s been the plan for a while now.
Israel has told the US that it plans to launch a limited ground incursion into Lebanon as soon as Monday, an American official has said.
Israel, which wants to push Hezbollah away from its northern border, has been carrying out “small, targeted raids into southern Lebanon, gathering intelligence and probing ahead of a possible broader ground incursion,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
An official told reporters in the US that a further small incursion could begin within hours.
Israel will launch ‘limited’ ground invasion in Lebanon ‘imminently’ US official says
Israel will launch a “limited” ground invasion into southern Lebanon in the “imminent” future, a senior U.S. official told Fox News on Monday.
While set details on the invasion remain unclear, the official confirmed this campaign will be smaller in scale than the 2006 operation Israel conducted in its war with Hezbollah, and it is expected to last a shorter period of time.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot on Monday urged Israel not to send ground troops into Lebanon, calling on Israel and armed group Hezbollah to immediately agree to a ceasefire.
“I urge Israel to refrain from any ground incursion and to cease fire. I call on Hezbollah to do the same and refrain from any action that could destabilise the region,” Barrot told reporters in Beirut.
If Israel is going to enter Lebanon, which they are according to their own statements, it’s seriously silly to think Hezbollah will not respond to this invasion. Barrot’s statement is absurd. Do people realize how stupid, no moronic, nearly all politicians sound when they speak?

One reply on “Israel to launch “limited” ground incursion into Lebanon- as in right now.”
Sorry, about that. I’m back!
