Israel getting ready to extend the war into Lebanon in case they have to stop in Gaza... War cabinet shall prevail.

Israeli military holds exercises to simulate military operations in Lebanon

The Israeli military says its 146th Division and an armoured brigade have held more exercises to simulate military operations inside Lebanon.

Soldiers drilled field combat scenarios and learned about the potential challenges of invading the neighbouring country, according to the military, which said the aim was to closely simulate “fighting in the depths of Lebanon”.

The Israeli military also claimed new air strikes against Hezbollah positions, claiming to hit launchers that had directed an attack on Malkiya earlier on Monday. It also confirmed that an Israeli drone crashed inside Lebanese territory this morning, saying an investigation has been launched to determine the cause.


Or they can go to war with Egypt

Israeli military talking to Egypt after ‘shooting incident’ at border

The Israeli military has put out a short statement that confirms a “shooting incident on the Egyptian border” took place earlier in the day. It says the issue is being investigated and “a dialogue is taking place with the Egyptian side”.

Reports from Israeli media earlier suggested that one Egyptian soldier was killed and others wounded at the Rafah border crossing but no harm came to Israeli soldiers.

An Egyptian military spokesman statement says Egyptian forces are carrying out an investigation into a shooting on the Rafah border that led to one personnel killed.

It was initially reported by Israeli media that there had been cross-border fire that was started from the Egyptian side toward Israeli soldiers, who responded. Then, that was retracted through an order by the Israeli military, but was again allowed to be reported.

This could further complicate the situation. Even as Egypt has a peace treaty with Israel, it’s actually been refusing, for example, to open its side of the border to aid trucks in protest to Israel taking over the Rafah crossing.

Are we going to see this escalate further militarily? Highly doubtful, but diplomatically this could complicate things since Egypt is also a mediator in ceasefire talks.
