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.

    Yeah, while Israel has been invading and violating Lebanon’s airspace for much longer than they’ve been shooting rockets.

      So not really “invading random countries” like the person I responded to said, right? They’ve been fighting

        Yeah Israel should have been sanctioned a long time ago for their airspace invasions. If they proceed with a land invasion, they should be embargoed by the world.

          By your logic though, Taiwan should be launching rockets into China because China regularly violates their airspace. It’s just not how normal countries interact with each other man, these people are psychos. Both sides

            I just said Israel should be sanctioned. I haven’t made one comment on whether the rockets were good or bad.

              I asked hasn’t Lebanon been firing rockets at Israel for a while - you said Israel invades their airspace (implying that firing rockets into Israel was justified)

                Yeah, by your own logic you can go one reply further and you’ll realize that you were trying to justify a land invasion of Lebanon.

                  I was trying to point out that it wouldn’t be “invading random countries”. They’ve been fighting

      Are people actually making excuses for Hezbollah?

          Are you serious? Hezbollah went in and gutted Lebanon of anything not of their version of “islamic” and think they are going to get sympathy. Why do you think so many people left Lebanon during the civil war (if you can even call it that)?
