Israel planned to launch a preemptive strike against Hezbollah on October 11 which was narrowly averted due to intervention from U.S. President Joe Biden, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.

The assault plan came on the heels of Hamas’ invasion of southern Israel and, according to the report, was based on intelligence Israel had that Hezbollah attackers were preparing to cross the border as part of a multi-pronged attack. The U.S. reportedly deemed the information unreliable.

    Or they don’t?

    “Be more selective with targets”

    “No”

    “Well at least don’t fuckin launch a cross-border attack”

    “Maybe”

    See how that can work? The American response HAS been inadequate, but it’s because they continue to supply the genocide in Gaza, not because they’re trying to reign in the extremists
