Tanks rolling into southern Lebanon means the IDF has initiated a ground operation and Hezbollah fears there will be all-out war—the point of no return.
Interestingly, President Trump just told a crowd at a campaign rally in California he was concerned we could “end up in a world war” in the next few months.
This from americafirstreport.com.
The United Nations “peacekeeping forces” have been making inappropriate moves:
– Israeli tanks have burst through the gates of a United Nations peacekeeper base in southern Lebanon,
– Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded the UNIFL withdraw from combat zones and Hezbollah strongholds and accused the UN of inadvertently ‘providing terrorists with human shields,’ and
– In a statement addressed to U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Netanyahu said: ‘The time has come for you to withdraw UNIFIL from Hezbollah strongholds and from the combat zones.
Hezbollah, too, has been quite busy. On Saturday, they fired missiles at four different Israeli military bases:
– Hezbollah claimed it had destroyed four military bases in Israel today as it launched a blistering rocket attack across the southern border,
– The Iranian-proxy group said it had hit bases in Al-Jarrah, Za’rit and bases in the Golan Heights after claiming to have pushed back advancing forces late Friday, and
– Its fighters were ‘targeting the explosives factory there with a salvo of… missiles’, the group said in a statement this morning.
Then on Sunday, a massive Hezbollah drone attack injured more than 60 people in northern Israel:
– More than 60 people injured, several of them critically, in a drone attack in northern Israel, according to first responders,
– There were no immediate official reports of deaths from the attack, but the high number of injuries reported makes the attack one of the bloodiest since the war started last October, and
– The news comes after Hezbollah said Sunday it had fired a swarm of attack drones on an Israeli “Golani” infantry training camp in Binyamina, south of Haifa, and
– The Lebanon-based militant group said the attack was in response to Israeli strikes in Lebanon on Thursday that killed 22 people and injured 117, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
Most Americans do not seem to realize we will be directly involved in this war.
In fact, it is being reported approximately 100 U.S. troops will be operating the THAAD air defense systems soon to be sent to Israel:
– The United States is preparing to deploy THAAD anti-ballistic missile systems in Israel, a major development which will put American troops directly in harm’s way (or… boots on the ground) amid the tense showdown with Iran, and
– The Pentagon in follow-up statements to the NY Times has confirmed the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) systems will be sent to Israel, and that about 100 American troops will operate them.
According to the Daily Mail, the Iranians are making some very alarming threats:
Iran has threatened to recalculate its nuclear weapons program if Israel launches a revenge strike as Biden has insisted Tehran is not building nukes. Since Hamas’s October 7 attack last year on Israel triggered a wave of regional hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants, officials in Tehran have warned the Islamic republic could change its nuclear doctrine if it faced an existential threat. But they have been deliberately vague about what that might entail.
Soon, both sides may be forced to reveal all of their cards. If and when that happens, the entire Middle East may quickly escalate to an extremely dangerous level.
