Israeli Army Pushing for War on Lebanon
The Israeli military command has informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that there can be no avoiding a war with Lebanon along with the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Political sources said there can be no escaping dealing a strong blow against Hezbollah in Lebanon in wake of the Iran-backed party’s latest escalation. The blow must be painful enough to deter the party from carrying on with its attack, they said, suggesting that Israel may choose to attack Hezbollah’s stronghold in Beirut’s southern suburbs.
