Israel Making Preparations To Launch Invasion Of Southern Lebanon<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

Israel has continued signaling that it is preparing to launch a major new operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon following months of tit-for-tat escalation.\u00a0Some 80,000 Israeli residents whose homes are near the border have remained evacuated since October and November<\/strong>, and are essentially internally displaced. Because of this, pressure has mounted on Israeli leaders to do something that would allow their return, and ensure the security of Israel’s north.<\/p>\n

Israeli media, particularly\u00a0YNet News<\/i>\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is preparing “contingency plans” for a wide-scale attack on Lebanon.\u00a0Israeli Army Northern Command head Major General Ori Gordin in a meeting with settler leaders from northern Israel stated, “We are preparing contingency plans to launch an attack in Lebanon. Our commitment, mine, is\u00a0to change the security situation so that the residents can be returned home<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

YNet\u00a0<\/em>further unveiled plans to initiate the army’s\u00a0“Operation Steady Anchor”<\/strong>\u00a0which aims to protect civilians during the expected escalation in fighting. Hezbollah is widely estimated to possess over 150,000 rockets – some of which can likely reach Haifa and Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

The operation involves setting up dozens of mass shelters utilizing fortified abandoned buildings and underground parking garages. This is to protect civilians in the instance of a mass Hezbollah rocket barrage. The shelters will be equipped to allow families to take refuge anywhere from a few hours to up to several days.<\/p>\n

In another key sign of Tel Aviv’s war preparations, the IDF has been conducing a logistics supply drill focused on its northern bases and positions, and in preparation for a Lebanon offensive This has included\u00a0practice runs delivering ammo, equipment, water, and fuel to simulated “maneuvering forces” operating in southern Lebanon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
