The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) 98th Division is being deployed to northern Israel amid heightened tensions with Hezbollah following months of operations in the Gaza Strip under the Southern Command, Hebrew media reported on September 18.
The elite paratroopers and commando division will reportedly join the 36th Division under the military’s Northern Command.
The 98th Division is made up of approximately 10,000 to 20,000 troops. It includes the 35th Paratroopers Brigade, 55th Paratroopers Brigade [reserve], 89th Commando Brigade, 551st Paratroopers Brigade [reserve], 214th Artillery Brigade, 8237th Division Logistic Brigade and the 492nd Division Signal Battalion.
Late August, the 98th Division was withdrawn from the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza after leading several major offensive operations against the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions there.
The deployment of the division on the northern front came amid fears of an all-out war with Lebanon after Israel caused thousands of Hezbollah pagers to explode in a sabotage attack on September 17, killing 12 people, including two children, and wounding more than 2,800.
A recent report by Axios revealed that Israel carried out the sabotage attack out of fears that the plot was about to be uncovered by Hezbollah.
A former Israeli official told the news agency that Israel had planned to use the exploding pagers as an opening blow in an all-out war with Hezbollah.
Hezbollah and its allies have been launching near-daily attacks from Lebanon against Israel in support of armed factions in Gaza since the outbreak of the war in the Strip last October. While the IDF has so far limited its response to air and artillery strikes, the latest sabotage attack and the deployment of the 98th Division on the northern front suggest that Israel is bracing to launch a major offensive against Lebanon.

no one’s going to be interested in reading the score card for much longer now as it is.
they won’t occupy lebanon just trying to clean out the forces there..
gaza was just act one. the real fun starts now.
the fun part is watching the zionists false sense of reality get smashed again and again. occupying lebanon will be 10x worse than gaza. but dont upset those jewish dreams. they can go home in bodybags and israel will be ripped apart in the aftermath. just watch
you are talking the same bullshit as the ukros and nafos do. you cannot pose a threat to the very existence of a nuclear armed country unless you are prepared to die and sacrifice all and everything you know
if the invasiv zio- parazites drop 1, they get 10 back. i hope the zionist experiment in palestine will be exterminated before the end of the year.
the abab nations don’t need nukes to obliterate the small country of israel. gaza is the future of israel. i do expect them to use nukes and make the occupation of israel into something out of hell. jews are stupid like that though. even the nazis had the good sense not to use nukes on their way out, even though they had the capacity. 144,000 jews out of the entire population sounds like the number of decent people that might be there, but probably on the optimistic side.
οντωσ, οι “ναζι”δεν ηταν “ψυχωσικοι” ! “αλλοι” εριξαν πυρηνικεσ βομβεσ στην ιαπωνια !!
well, they weren’t as psychotic as the jews are now. like most cartel members aren’t as psychotic as ted bundy or the rothschilds.
το “ονομα” σασ, ειναι ανοησια ! ο “ναζισμοσ” ειναι πολιτικη κοσμοθεωρια και ο “ισλαμισμοσ” θρησκευτικη κοσμοθεωρια !! δεν ταυτιζονται.. μην κανετε χρηση “στερεοτυπων”..ειναι ανεντιμο !!!
nuclear weapons are 80 year old technology. any country with a few million dollars & a few competent technicians can put one together in a few weeks. the zios main current contribution to the planet is to convince undecided countries like iran to go nuclear. you can’t afford moral & ethical scruples when you’re dealing with rabid rats like talmudistan. even now all they have to do is turn 100 missiles into dirty bombs with some waste.
blahblahblah and some more parasitic bullshit blah.
israhell will burn and nothing can stop karma not even the no longer great drug-addled $atan. the world will rejoice when the khazar abomination is obliterated from our planet.
the war in lebanon could go on for many years kamala may have to draft a haitian pet eater brigade
kenyan troops deployed on the streets of haiti fighting for the evil empire
russians fighting russians african fighting african arab on arab
khazarian jewish protocols of zion

how many ussan tax cattle will want to fight and die for israhelli scum? the fun is about to begin as penatcon stretches and snaps. wait for all those $lumvillain rusty tubs in the red sea to burn crispy when the fun loving houthi brothers take them out. israhell is on the road to total destruction and the world will rejoice when it comes.
it’s coming, it’s coming and not a minute too soon!!!
probably at least a million would be willing. maybe a third of the population would staunchly support israel. i doubt the us could muster that many to the region though given all the other fronts ww3 will be on. i personally doubt that it will go nuclear right away, but whatever anyway. maybe a few destroyers and subs will make it through the conflict for the navy, but hypersonics are ship killers and so are the russian torpedoes.
3rd failed assassination attempt on trump. everyday objects used by a terrorist state to commit mass murder. get used to it. what counts as the western world is now a corrupt, dysfunctional, repressive, censored nightmare dystopia, a real alice-in-wonderland-1984 hellscape, with a controlled, lapdog mouthpiece media, politicised law enforcement and rigged kangaroo courts used as tools of intim idation and persecution.
hezbollah needs to grow some iq points and surrender now
keep pn trolling you fool. fool.
they’ve just gone there to entertain hezbollah with their incomparable tik tok dancing.
