Israel Signals Readiness To Launch Invasion of Southern Lebanon

Israeli troops carried out a logistics supply drill, with an eye launching “identical operations In the northern sector.” The drill signals part of what officials refer to as ongoing preparation for invading Lebanon.

Northern commander Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin spoke of the determination to allow displaced civilians to return to the Israeli north, declaring “we are constantly strengthening our readiness to launch an attack in Lebanon.”

Israel was quick to deny media reports about March 15 being the deadline for launching a “broad war” in Lebanon, insisting there is no date for going to war against Lebanon, although officials continue to emphasize readiness to do so.
