Lebanon's state-owned airline the MEA has transferred 6 of its planes to Turkey, as a precaution if war starts in Lebanon.

In similar conflicts, the airport is the first target by Israel, and throughout the decades has damaged planes.

Now: Israeli PM Netanyahu speaks at the Knesset: “Our goal is to destroy Hamas.”

He added saying to Iran and Hezbullah: “Don't try us. You will pay a heavy price. Be careful.”

📝 Observation: Additionally it's important to note that, any decision by Hezbullah to fight in the war has to be taken after very extensive consultations, because it won't be an easy decision to make.

A war with Israel will imply not only the need to be financially ready after the war to support the people recover their losses, but understand that the pre and post-Syrian war preparations are not lost over a short termed battle.

For Hezbullah, unlike Gaza, it doesn't accept short termed fights because cons over outweigh the pros. And so for Hezbullah to join, is for Hezbullah to assume that this war will actually give substantial results in the war against the occupation army.

The question is, did Hezbullah take the decision to join the war? I'd like to think they didn't yet but have set a set of thresholds that will dictate their involvement level and what breakpoint they are forced to join.

Is that threshold a total collapse of Gaza or a Gaza's ability to withstand the ground operation.

Is that threshold simply a ground invasion and an attack from the rear? It's unclear.

Whatever decision taken will have massive reprecussions on the whole world, and their involvement will make a few weeks or months war...last much longer.

History might be changed or history might be writing the final chapters of the existence of some factions.

🚨 Rocket sirens in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

🔴 Hezbullah attacked the Israeli spy cameras in Al-Jerdah Israeli military site and Dahr Al-Jamal military site near Ramia and Duhayra villages.

Upper Galilee Regional Council: Due to fear of a security incident in the Rmeim Ridge area - residents of Mishgav Am, Margaliot, Manara and Beitah are requested to enter the protected areas.

🚨 Patriot missile launched in the Galilee, reason unclear.

Hezbullah releases a statement announcing it targeted "five Israeli sites, namely the Misgav Am site, Khirbet al-Manara, Hermon, Risha and Ramieh sites with direct weapons."

The Lebanese army post in Duhayra village was targeted by the Israeli army.

The army is not involved in any of the hostilities on the border area.

Renewed Israeli artillery shelling on the town of Al-Duhayr, Al-Bustan, and Birkat Risha, accompanied by an intense UAV activity over the area.

📝 Observation: The ongoing clashes on the Lebanese border resemble those that took place between 2000 and 2006.

Hezbullah would target Israel military sites in occupied-lebanese lands, and the Israeli army would retaliate against Hezbullah or the Syrian army.

It all boiled to the day Hezbullah took a step further and kidnaped an Israeli soldier, sparking the 2006 war.
