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.

Actual headline: America is ready for an all out war with Lebanon

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 months ago

US has been trying to prevent an Israeli-Hezbollah war. Even al Jazeera says this in the third sentence in the linked article.

[-] istanbullu@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

nonsense. Israel does everything with American weapons. US wants more war, otherwise they would not be giving Israel so many weapons.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

The US wants stability in the Middle East to keep the oil flowing.

[-] istanbullu@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Nonsense. If this was true, Israel would not be getting genocide support from thr US.

Gonna keep on disregarding any fact or logic that conflicts with the narrative, huh?

[-] istanbullu@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

you are the one ignoring facts and believing in a fanstasy

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I'm sure al Jazeera would have said the US has been trying to prevent an Israeli-Palestine war before the conflict happened. We can see what happened with that.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago

That would imply that al Jazeera knew October 7 was going to happen in advance. Is that what you're saying? Or is October 7 such an inconvenience to the narrative you want to believe you've got a complete mental block on it?

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

How on earth would what I said imply that Al Jazeera knew that October 7th was going to happen lol. There's been threats of war between the two for decades.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

Ah, so you've got a mental block about October 7. Got it.

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

You didn't answer the question.
