“Operational plans for an attack on Lebanon have been approved and approved,” the IDF statement said. Generals Ori Kordin and Odet Basiuk, the heads of the IDF’s Northern Command and Operations Command, respectively, approved the moves.
The decision to authorize the attack came after Hezbollah fired at least 30 drones at the headquarters of Israel’s Northern Command. It was the group’s largest drone attack on Israel. In addition, the Lebanese organization fired about 100 rockets, the largest attack of its kind since the bombing of Israel began after the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip.
Tensions have been rising along Israel’s northern border for weeks. So far, U.S. diplomatic pressure on the government of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has allowed it to avoid conflict with Lebanon. However, Israel has announced that it is ready to use military force to push Hezbollah north if the issue is not resolved through diplomacy, The Times of Israel recalled.
