Israeli Defense Minister Vows To Invade Lebanon’s Beirut If Needed

On June 22, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz warned Lebanon that if needed, the Israeli army “will march once again to Beirut, Sidon and Tyre”.

Gantz made the warning while speaking at a rally in Kiryat Shmona to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. Gantz said that should Israel need to carry out a military operation in Lebanon, it will be “powerful and accurate.”

“It will levy a heavy price for the Iranian Hezbollah and Lebanese shipments. In the face of a threat to the citizens of Israel, no infrastructure used to harm us will be immune,” the minister said.

Gantz went on to say that Israel does not want a war with Lebanon and that it is willing to go very far on the path to peace and settlement.

“We are willing to go very far on the path to peace and settlement, such as the maritime border between us and Lebanon, which we must conclude quickly and fairly. For the dying Lebanese economy, it will be a breath of fresh air, and I hope it will also be a significant step in strengthening stability in the region,” he said.

The minister added that Israel’s conflict is “not with the citizens of Lebanon,” noting that Israel has reached out many times to Lebanon’s citizens.

Gantz’s warning was apparently a response to Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, who recently warned Israel against extracting gas from the disputed Karish naval field.

The Lebanese-Israeli dispute over Karish heated up earlier this month when the Greek-owned Energean Power FPSO [Floating Production Storage Offloading] reached the field to extract gas. Lebanon claims that at least a part of Karish is within its exclusive economic zone.

US-backed talks on the demarcation of the naval borders between Lebanon and Israel are now moving on. According to recent reports in the Israeli media, Lebanon has agreed to drop claims on Karish likely in exchange for Israeli concessions on other parts of the disputed naval zone.

Gantz was not the first senior Israeli official to threaten Lebanon over the naval dispute. More than a week earlier, Israeli military’s Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi made a series of chilling threats to the country. Israel’s attempt to intimidate the Lebanese people will not likely stop as long as the country is demanding its naval rights.

That ILLEGAL Israeli gas drilling platform looks very tasty Team Putin. So do those UK gas / oil drilling platforms in the North Sea.

thoughtful

The prime minister said the UK was looking at increasing North Sea output, although critics say it would take two decades to ramp up significantly and would have little immediate effect on the impending rise in domestic energy bills. Over the next 35 years or so, about 470 platforms and 10,000km of steel pipeline will need to be removed from the North Sea. Within those numbers, according to the decommissioning forecasts of the UK’s Oil and Gas Authority, 109 platforms (95 of them in the UK sector, the rest Norwegian) will go between now and 2025. THEY are already out of production.

Washington wouln not allow a green light for the chosenites to open another front considering the proxy war in Ukraine let alone the looming trouble hotting up in Taiwan, aside from imminent economic recession.

You gotta give it to IDF, they don’t diplomatically hold back again bombing any stucture that is housing military equipment. Such a war will be over within days, it will be a decisive and ruthless suppression of the opponent. Russian campaign of the slug operation has caused it be ridiculed and seen as a weak state regardless of the outcome. Putin’s been degraded as a vocal threat machine and nothing more..Russia has the capability to finish this operation in days but they won’t and the western media will have enough time to do it’s dirty business…

The idf are child murders and paedophiles, the cowardly scumbags need uncle sam to fight their illegal wars, hezbolla stamped all over the the sons of whores in 06 and now they have much better weapons. Crawl back under your rock you zionist paedophile coward.

Loten

Yes a stalemate was indeed the outcome but it didn’t take months but weeks. This russian campaign is dragging on all the while.

Jnoub

Wasn’t a stalemate, it was a complete loss for Israel, and win for Hezbollah

Loten

Very interesting comment, if it was a complete win for hezbollah, then the answer to the following questions must be no. Does Israel exist as a nation? Did Israel loss the ability to wage war? Did the suffering of the arabs and palestinians reduce? Is tel aviv and quds go back to Palestinian ownership?.

NATO's PROXYTUTE

There’s a serious potential that this perpetual quagmire could precipitate another brutal regional war among traditional players made a lot more complicated by the fact of a few Arab nations which recently forged a friendly relationships with the chosenites, given a complex situation, the question now begging for an answer would be how prepare are the Syrians and Iranians were willing to align themselves to defend Beirut who were once help saved Damascus from ISIS grip.

Karl Pomeroy

You’re so incoherent I can’t even tell which side you’re on.

Loten

Why take sides? Obviously this is an extremist forum filled with virtue signalling demigods who thinks they are superior because they believe in some neo-woke conspiracies that every event in the universe is mastermined by some zionist. Like I dropped an egg in my kitchen, it must be zionists right ahhh. The point is, IDF torches everything, they don’t care about collateral..(although If they want to they can easily vaporize the entire gaza strip but they don’t do it). All of Israel’s wars ended in days/weeks regardless of the outcome. If you want war, then do war, if you want peace do peace but Putin seems to be jumping around some where in the middle and it gives his opponents sufficient time to play their dirty games..

Michel LeBlanc

Its not hard to butcher civilians, yall dont seem to mind.

Civilized people dont do that, just barbarians like the IDF and its supporters.

We aint stupid we seen yall nuke beirut. Oh wait that was fertilzer wasent it? Did you go mix the diesel fuel in there at the perfect mix? Set the blasting caps?

Of course not! Your a loser who sits a computer all day! Youv never even seen a blasting cap in your life.

Its more like Zionist Israel is a vocal threat machine –how many times has Israel said-quote- ” we are going to nuke Iran ” ?? Iran shown off its hidden underground arsenal and its massive indigenous military weapons supply and dared Israel to attack them –silence –too small a country to threaten anybody .Israel wants Lebanon resources and land just the same as Herr Hitler -aka-Shicklgruber

Israel moved its capital to Jerusalem so it could use Palestinians as human shields.

Jnoub

Militarily speaking Israel nuking Iran won’t work. All it will do is kill innocent civilians because all the Iranian higher ups will be in bunkers conducting their attacks, because Iran good weapons bunker launched, a nuke can’t penetrate that

Loten

The reason why Israel hasn’t nuked anyone is the same reason why Russia hasn’t either.. can they? Sure.. but why do it when the situation doesn’t call foe anything but bi-directional saber rattling. Iran has never attacked Israel directly either, but if you read press tv news, everyday there is some vocal bullcrap about how they will counter zionists.. The real victor of this conflict can be only seen at the end, really the very end.. only one nation will stand, who that is cannot be predicted.

That sandy-faced shitskin hebrew is waving his midget sandmutt dicklet about, believing we all deepthroat the kikeroach hubris.

The bulk of their air force will have to be committed on the Syrian and Lebanese front, along with 70% of their troops. That would leave them wide open to attack from the West Bank and Gaza alike, kek and it will be ferocious.

Of course, it’s a bluff. Kikeroach wogs won’t invade shit or we’ll start seeing their “men” castrated on their own kibbutzim and their wives/daughters raped to death weinstein/epstein style.

Their Air Force will have to conduct air raids in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and gaza. Hezbollah is in all these countries, that means they have missile launchers capable of hitting Israel from all these countries. To destroy Hezbollah launchers, you’ll boots on the ground to locate them. In 06 their Air Force couldn’t locate Hezbollah bunkers, that’s why Hezbollah was shooting freely into Israel. The 95% of their troops are conscripts, queers or pedophiles who escaped whatever country they left to come to Israel to get their charges dropped. Those fuckers don’t have the battle experience to take on Hezbollah. They might have had good training exercises, but I’m telling you they’ll freeze during real war and forget everything they’ve trained

Gantz’s warning to Lebanon sounds like he is trying to imitate Putin’s special military operation in Ukraine: . It makes me sort of sick a creep like Gantz would aspire to the moral heights of the Russian President..

Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall. ‘Israel’ is bullying, nothing more, nothing less. With a stark economic crisis in Lebanon and Iran (not to mention Syria), they think they have free hand. It is wrong to say that there are negotiations. There is dictation. The Lebanese government feels weak. They think they don’t have the muscle to gainsay ‘Israel’. Hasan Nasrallah has made an appeal to all Lebanese to take a stand. The gas would give Lebanon a much needed boost. Syria looks weak too. They wouldn’t respond to continued Israeli aggression, which might embolden them. Turkeys aggressive stance in the north plays into Israel’s hands. Still, it might well be that Israel is in for a surprise. Wouldn’t be the first time. Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall.

Israel may have a good economy right now, but that won’t last in the war. Countries like Egypt and Jordan rely on Israeli gas. When Hezbollah destroys those oil rigs, first Israelis will beg to end the war, second Egypt and Jordan will also beg since their economies will go down. Israel is the top diamond exporter, we all know israel has no diamond mines, so Hezbollah will target israel mines in places like Africa where they steal diamonds from. When Hezbollah does that israel will have no means of income. When the Haifa port is out, no boats will come in or out, and that means no money for the Jews

Abraham Lincoln

This is great news but I doubt it is a real threat. If Israel invades it will have massive unsustainable casualties against a battle-hardened Hezbollah armed with modern weapons, especially anti-tank and anti-armor weapons. Israel will lose more than 2000 plus soldiers a week in such urban fighting.

This along with Hezbollah’s 100,000 plus missiles which will destroy Israeli military and economic infrastructure, power plants, oil refineries, water treatment plants, the Dimona nuclear reactor, military and civilian airports, the Israeli air force will be grounded and destroyed on the ground or will have to go to Cyprus as they won’t be able to take off, land or refuel in Israel, all of Israel will be like what they have done to Beirut. Israel will have no water to drink, no oil, no gasoline for transport and no electricity. It will be the end of the Zionist occupation government and its military.
