Israel is planning a limited ground operation in Lebanon that could start imminently, Israel has told Washington, a U.S. official said — an account corroborated by an Israeli familiar with military deliberations.
Israel’s planned campaign would be smaller than its last war against Hezbollah in 2006 and would focus on clearing out militant infrastructure along the border to remove the threat to Israeli border communities, the U.S. official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private talks between the two governments.
On Monday, Israeli forces carried out limited raids in Lebanon, according to the Israeli familiar with the operation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.

Looks like Israel is taking neighborly visits to a whole new level—nothing says 'good fences make good neighbors' like a little border reshaping!

Netanyahu's message is : We're bombing and invading you because we love you so much
Meanwhile, Trump helps him whip up a pre-election Iran war frenzy, and Kamala basically nods along

And the majority of people in Lebanon were delighted when Israel bombed the stuffing out of Hezbollah. Most people in Iran will be delighted when Israel kills the top mullahs and IRGC.

Really? You've surveyed the Lebanese people, and a majority of them are "delighted" about their country being bombed into oblivion? Fascinating. Just like the people of Gaza were "delighted" about being bombed and invaded, right?
"Greeted as liberators" -- just like in Iraq?
So the Israelis will be delighted if Iran drops a bomb on Bibi's house?
You can't be serious.

Another 'limited' operation? Sounds like someone's trying to shift attention from their own problems at home. Classic move
Another day, another example of capitalist imperialism flexing its muscles. Can't wait for the proletariat to unite over this one!
