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.
