IDF approving Lebanon 'offensive' is step toward ‘significant escalation’ against Hezbollah, ex-official warns
Fox News
The IDF has approved plans for "an offensive in Lebanon," which a former spokesperson says is a step toward a "significant escalation" against Hezbollah.
"What this means is another step towards a significant escalation. The IDF has been preparing troops for combat scenarios in Lebanon for months and what it means that now it has also approved plans, strategic maneuver plans, of how to attack Hezbollah in Lebanon on the ground and of course in the air," Jonathan Conricus, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former IDF spokesman, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"What this means is that we are another step closer, and this should sound alarm bells in Beirut, in Washington, in Paris, in London and in Berlin, and of course in every other regional capital because what it means is that Israel is signaling to the world that patience is running thin and that it needs to take action in order to bring security to Israeli civilians."
