If all goes according to plan, Israel's next phase of war involves invading Lebanon in the second half of July to fight Hezbollah.
As Israel and Lebanon continue to trade fire across their shared border, German newspaper Bild, citing diplomatic sources, claims that Israel will proceed with a full-scale invasion of Lebanon unless Hezbollah stops attacking northern Israel. Israel is also demanding that Hezbollah withdraw from Israel's northern border region to areas beyond the Litani River, which is probably a tall order.
The Litani River is located about 18 miles north of the Israel-Lebanon border, which means Israel wants Hezbollah to move substantially further away from where its forces are currently perched along Israel's northern border.
In order for Israeli citizens who fled the area to ever be able to return home, Hezbollah's presence will need to be dealt with, Israel says about its planned response to the situation later this month.
