Israel Striking Targets In South Lebanon As Feared Two-Front War Scenario Unfolds

Israel Striking Targets In South Lebanon As Feared Two-Front War Scenario Unfolds
TYLER DURDEN



Update (1100ET): Israel has confirmed its forces are now striking targets in southern Lebanon, as the conflict slides into the much-feared scenario of a two-front war... Hamas in the south, Hezbollah in the north. Interestingly, it seems that Gaza-based militants are trying to provoke Hezbollah's entry into the war, given they need the firepower and for the IDF to be bogged down in the north:

ALERT Palestinian Islamic Jihad claims Israel infiltration from Lebanon: official

ISRAELI WARPLANES ARE BOMBING SOUTHERN LEBANON. This is a severe escalation. This came after clashes between Israeli occupation forces and unknown gunmen. Hezbollah won’t sit and watch. Expect a retaliation.


According to CNN:

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a brief statement on Monday that its helicopters are currently striking in Lebanese territory. No further details were provided. 

Earlier, the IDF said a “number of armed suspects” who “infiltrated” into Israel from Lebanon were killed, and that IDF soldiers were searching the area.

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) peacekeepers said in a statement on Monday that it has reported explosions near Al-Boustan in southwest Lebanon.

There are also reports IDF heavy armor has been seen headed to northern border with Lebanon:

Cross-border attacks are intensifying in the growing tit-for-tat:

Israel's defense minister has as of Monday ordered a "complete siege" of Gaza which alarmingly includes cutting off all supply of electricity, fuel, and food, but even water for a densely packed population of 3+ million people in the strip.

Yoav Gallant said, "I have given an order – Gaza will be under complete siege." He added: "We are fighting barbarians and will respond accordingly."

At the same time a statement from energy minister Israel Katz confirmed, "I instructed that the water supply from Israel to Gaza be cut off immediately."
