The Israeli military says its Northern Command has approved operational plans for war with Lebanon.

Israel is ready for an “all-out war” in Lebanon and has plans approved for an offensive targeting Hezbollah, officials have said.

Israel and Hezbollah have been engaged in border fighting since shortly after the start of the war on Gaza, following the October 7 attacks on Israel. The confrontation is increasingly expanding, with both sides saying they are ready to go to war.

More than 400 people have been killed in Lebanon, including journalists and paramedics, over the past eight months, with 25 deaths in Israel. At least 90,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon, and more than 60,000 have been forced from their homes in northern Israel.

    A two front war is never a good idea

    Not too sure how bombing civilians including children on a strip of land for 8-9 months qualifies as war, if you think about it.

      They should never have done it in the first place, but seeing how it takes them so long to kill mostly unarmed civilians doesn’t exactly qualify them to attack another region, but whatever gets bibi to play the victim and the strong man at the same time and keeps his right wing friends happy, i guess.
