The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on January 27 that it was increasing its preparedness on the front with Lebanon, publishing footage from recent “intensive” training exercises carried out by the 226th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade.
“As part of the process of increasing readiness on the northern border, the Northern Command held intensive training sessions last week to strengthen competence and readiness for the moment of decision,” the IDF said in a statement.
The 226th Brigade, under the 146th Division, with combat engineers, tanks, artillery and other infantry forces, carried out drills simulating fighting in urban areas more applicable to Lebanon, amid winter weather, according to the IDF.
Since the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip more than three months ago, Hezbollah and its allies in Lebanon, including the Hamas Movement and several other Palestinian armed factions, have attacked northern Israel on a near-daily basis.
So far, the border clashes have claimed the lives of 15 Israelis, including nine IDF soldiers, and more than 200 other people on the Lebanese side, including 160 fighters of Hezbollah.
The Israeli drills came amid fears of further escalation by Israel against Lebanon. On January 19, The Washington Post reported that Israel was eyeing an end-of-January timeframe for reaching a long-term diplomatic agreement with Lebanon, but will likely escalate fighting with Hezbollah if a deal is not secured.
Later on January 27, LBCI reported that intelligence gathered by major global powers indicates that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prepared to initiate a war against Lebanon.
The goal of the war will be to force Hezbollah to comply with United Nations Resolution 1701, which calls on the group to withdraw some 30-40 kilometers away from the Israeli border. According to the Lebanese broadcaster, an unnamed Arab nation provided the intelligence to Hezbollah.
With these developments unfolding, February is expected to be a pivotal month for Lebanon. United States envoy Amos Hochstein and French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian, who have been leading efforts to de-escalate tensions between Israel and Lebanon, will visit Beirut at the start of the month. However, Hezbollah is unlikely to make a compromise. The group’s officials said more than once that de-escalation will be only possible after the end of the war in Gaza.
jens invade me w dildo in poko molo trailer
yes, the officials will visit lebanon…they will threaten, cajole and try to bribe lebanese. all to no avail. they think hezbollah can be convinced or forced to stop? when they stop, maybe. one has to but laugh that israel wants them to abide by 1701, all the while israel thumbs their nose at any such resolutions directed at them? these morons are truly deluded. training for fighting in lebanon? what makes them think they will ever get there?
hezbollah should tell israel that when they abide by resolutions saying israel should relinquish territories annexed by war…golan, shebaa, etc… then they will create a 40 km buffer. us and french envoys think they can de-escalate tensions? the resistance already knows that they will lie and any agreement will fail because israel will do what they always do…violate and ignore agreements at will. fail.

two israeli soldiers were wounded tuesday, one of them seriously, in a land mine explosion on the border with lebanon, the army said, days after israel reported a militant infiltration from there. – 21 mar 2023
these morons don’t know where they place their own mines… let alone what hezbollah cooking for them.
it is very likely, but would it get bigger. iran, syria and iraq not going to just sit down and do nothing. hezbollah fighters help iraq, syria and they best allies of iran.
also, i’m 100% sure turkey going to use that opportunity to invade n-iraq and n-syria. kurds will 100% side with israel we all know so let them burn in the fire they going to start.
again i say this, egypt looking for revenge if you will and zionists want to start a war with them as well.
lol. hasbara troll downvotes means zionist butthurt.
will arab countries continue to do nothing and for how long???! if egypt at least would join in with lebanon and syria then israel would be overstretched and screwed, and if jordan was to join too then it would be a walk in the park!
its shameful betrayal and or cowardice… pissrael needed to be fumigated along with all these traitor “governments” years ago. surely the regular people of jordan and egypt agree. their so called governments clearly don’t represent them just like western states. give them much longer and they will start mass murdering their own population.
