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.
Israel has been attacked by the rest of the region before.
Israel has also committed aggression against most of its neighbors and tried to claim their lands as well.
They’ve also unilaterally ceded land to Gaza, no?
No. They pulled out their illegal settlements but then blockaded the land and even blocked the importation of Covid vaccines (until international pressure made them relent). The government is even openly talking about putting new settlements back.
Gotcha. Just checking.
