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 is arrogant enough to think they can fight multiple wars at the same time. Biden and others have made the best effort to warn them against it, but if Netanyahu wants to risk the entire country just to grab more land then what can we do to stop him?
