U.S. officials are anticipating that the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah will increase significantly in the coming days, potentially sparking an all-out war between the two sides.
American officials have long said that both Israel and Hezbollah want to avoid war. But tensions are at an all-time high following Israel’s consecutive attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon this week. The latest analysis inside the Biden administration is that it will be difficult for both sides to de-escalate, according to two senior U.S. officials familiar with the conversations.
Yeah except we give them free access to our entire intelligence network, do free spotting with drones and airplanes, and manage their supply chain by sending two whole carrier strike groups to patrol the sea.
They also have a known base with US personnel there, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they also have a covert base as well.
You’re still probably right though because pretty much no surrounding country has any reason to challenge Israel. Egypt, Jordan, and KSA are all essentially US shills. Syria has zero interest, Lebanon barely has a functional military force. Israel would have no issue dealing with any of them with its own troops. That being said though, their goal is to have a forever war which means they won’t actually try to do a full offensive. They’ll just sit back and remotely bomb everyone like they are already doing in Gaza.
