With Israeli control of airspace and after eliminating the leadership of the Shiite militia partythe Israeli army is preparing to an imminent raid land in Lebanon. Last week, the army chief already announced that he was preparing for a possible ground operation in the Arab country.
Its latest Israeli airstrikes, he said, were aimed at “preparing the ground for its possible entry and continue to erode Hezbollah”. The director of “La Salle Politique”, Yago Rodríguez, declared in laSexta Xplica that he was “possible raid in southern Lebanon.” The analyst assures that the army would seek a “limited invasion” to have “a cushion of a few kilometers” inside the country.
And even if Hezbollah, considerably weakened, could still offer some resistance. For this reason, Rodríguez explains that “at least they must have the capacity to carry out a successful defense effective in the region” to “inflict” Israel with a high number of casualties. The assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah last Friday prepares Israel for a serious incursion.
In fact, the Jewish state’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, issued a warning to his enemies: “There is no place in Iran or the Middle East that the long arm of Israel does not reach.” Furthermore, in his attempt to alleviate internal pressures and the demonstrations against his management of the negotiations for the release of hostages in Gaza, Netanyahu took advantage of the emergency context to ban meetings until Monday of more than 1,000 people in cities in the north and center of the country.
“We are taking all necessary precautions to keep yourself safe“, justified Daniel Hagari, the spokesperson for the Israeli army. But despite the restrictions, thousands of Israelis continue to gather in the main cities to demand the release of people kidnapped on October 7 and who remain in the hands of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
