NETANYAHU PREPARES TROOPS FOR LEBANON INVASION
September 17, 2024Israeli radio reported that the commander of the northern brigade, Uri Gordin, announced his forces are prepared to establish a security zone on the Lebanese side of the border, amid escalating tensions within the Israeli government over expanding military operations in Lebanon.
The Israeli newspaper Maariv reported that an emergency drill took place on Sunday in Haifa, simulating various wartime scenarios, including a potential conflict with Lebanon.
In recent days, there has been a significant escalation in cross-border shelling between Israel and Lebanon. Despite regional and international warnings about the situation spiralling out of control, Israel has continued to threaten a ground invasion of Lebanon.
This escalation coincides with reported disagreements between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over expanding the military operation.
According to the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (KAN), Netanyahu, with the backing of the Northern Command, is pushing for an expansion of operations and may replace Gallant if he resists.
Netanyahu stated that the situation along the northern border cannot continue, adding during a weekly cabinet meeting that the balance of power needs to shift, and that he would take necessary measures to ensure residents can safely return to their homes.
