🇱🇧/🇮🇱 The IDF asked Netanyahu to approve a pre-emptive war on Hezbullah

Senior IDF officials told the Minister of Defense and the Prime Minister - not to wait for an attack from Hezbullah and launch another proactive Israeli attack.

According to Israeli media, and only mentioning what the censor allowed, IDF senior officials have put forward to the political echelon in recent days a proposal to launch another attack against Hezbullah in Lebanon, even before the response from Lebanon arrives.

According to senior IDF officials: "We need to undermine the enemy's feeling that we are waiting for his mouth to come out."

It was also said on their part: "the chances of escalation on the northern front are also increasing - it would be right to be the ones who lead this move."

The proposal was presented yesterday in a number of discussions that took place with senior political leaders, it was considered and tested, but for now it has not been accepted by the political level

🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇮🇱 US Department of State:
"We have been sending consistent messages through our diplomatic engagements, encouraging people to communicate to the government of Iran that escalation is not in their interest, and that we will defend Israel from attacks."

The US enables Israel's crimes and is there to defend it. How else would Israel be this arrogant and willing to do anything it wants?

In what right mind do they expect Lebanon and Iran not to retaliate, after Israel attacked both of the country's capital, and killed some of the most senior leadership?!

📹 The Israeli army released footage of their assassination in A'eba that murdered Ali Jamal Eddine Jawad.

The Israeli army claims he is a commander in Hezbullah's Radwan Force, and whose "elimination significantly degrades the capabilities of the Hezbullah to promote and carry out activities from southern Lebanon Israel."

🇺🇸/🇱🇧/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 Several waves of attacks

US president Biden and VP Harris were told U.S. intelligence expects a scenario involving two waves of attacks — one from Hezbulllah and one from Iran.

However, it was still unclear who is going to attack first and what kind of attack they are are going to conduct, U.S. officials said.

This is actually the first sane assessment I read in this chaotic week, which was filled with fake hype and false news.

Irans's reasons to attack are different from Hezbullah's, each has his own Israeli crime to answer to.

Attacking together on one night or not, there will be two different attacks mounted for two different events.

There is lots of assessments, no one knows what will happen and what will result of that.
