After the airstrikes against Hezbollah in many areas of Lebanon, Israel can now carry out a major attack on the ground as well.
The Israeli army is said to be preparing for a ground attack. The Israeli army chief said on Wednesday that the force is preparing for a possible ground operation in Lebanon.
Addressing troops on the country’s northern border, Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said the latest air strikes were carried out with the goal of preparing the ground for entering Lebanon and destroying Hezbollah.
He said that to achieve the goal of returning displaced citizens of northern Israel to their homes, ‘we are preparing a maneuverable process.’
Preparations underway for potential attack in Lebanon
The port of the southern Israeli city of Eilat was attacked by a drone on Wednesday and another drone was intercepted.
The Israeli army gave this information. Israeli rescue services said two people were slightly injured in the attack. Footage broadcast on Israeli media showed smoke and at least one damaged building in the port area.
A group calling itself the ‘Islamic Resistance’ in Iraq, an ‘umbrella’ group of Iran-backed Iraqi militias, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The group has frequently claimed responsibility for attacks on Israel. The army said it had seen the drones “coming from the east”.
Biden expressed fear of war breaking out between Israel and Hezbollah
US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah could lead to a full-scale war. However, he expressed hope that a way could be found to prevent further bloodshed.
Biden said this during an interview on channel ‘ABC’. His remarks came amid days of shelling between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.
The violence has killed hundreds of people and raised fears of another full-scale war in West Asia.
