China’s embassy in Israel has asked its citizens to leave the country and return to China in a Sunday night statement.
The embassy added that Chinese citizens should not travel to Israel for the time being.
When all-out war erupts, there won’t be anywhere in the entire region that is truly safe.
As I have discussed previously, U.S. citizens have already been instructed to leave Lebanon, and now more U.S. troops are being deployed to the region…
The U.S. is sending troops to the Middle East in response to the surge in violence between Israel and Hezbollah and as the region teeters on the edge of an all-out war.
The Pentagon announced on Monday that ‘additional’ service members would be deployed to join the 40,000 already stationed in the region along with a dozen warships and fighter jet squadrons.
Most Americans don’t realize this yet, but when all-out war erupts in the Middle East the U.S. will be involved.
In Israel, a “special situation on the home front” has been officially declared for the entire country…
On Monday evening, the government approved the declaration of a “special situation on the home front” throughout Israel, following the most intense day of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah since October.
The declaration of the “special situation” significantly expands the IDF’s powers to issue instructions to the Israeli public, allowing it to ban gatherings, limit studies, and issue “additional instructions required to save lives.”
This is a really big deal.
Just imagine what it would be like if the president of the United States gave the U.S. military special authority over cities throughout the United States.
This is quite a dramatic move, and so Israeli officials must believe that all-out war is imminent.
Of course at this point it is difficult to see how an all-out war can be avoided. On Monday, we witnessed “the deadliest day of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah since 2006”…
There are three options for Israeli planners to consider: air strikes; a massive, Gaza-style invasion; and a “limited” incursion to set up a “buffer zone”.
The first is, of course, the safest. Mr Gallant, the defence minister – no dove, even by Israeli standards – is said to have argued for this option.
I would disagree with that assessment.
A “limited” incursion simply is not possible. Hezbollah has stated that it will be all-out war the moment that the IDF crosses into southern Lebanon, and I believe that they are deadly serious about that.
When all-out war erupts, Israel won’t just be fighting Hezbollah. In such a scenario, Israel will be fighting Hezbollah’s entire alliance…
Israel possesses far superior weaponry, but the combined forces of the Iranian-led “axis of resistance” would vastly outnumber Israeli forces.
A former Major General in the IDF has told the Jerusalem Post that an all-out war with the entire alliance could have disastrous consequences for Israel…
