Iran’s UN mission issued a warning that if Israel launches a major attack on Lebanon, it will lead to a war of obliteration. The statement emphasized that all options, including full involvement of all Resistance Fronts, are on the table. Meanwhile, a heated debate within the Israeli cabinet took place regarding the possibility of a military operation to remove Hezbollah from the northern border. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant expressed a willingness for a diplomatic solution to ensure security in the region for Israeli residents.
In response, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir raised concerns about the effectiveness of agreements in the past and warned against potential risks. American intelligence reports suggest a looming conflict between Israel and Hezbollah if a cease-fire agreement is not reached with Hamas. There are preparations for battle on both sides, heightening tensions in the region.
Amidst uncertainty about the future, countries like Canada are planning evacuations from Lebanon, and European nations are advising their citizens to leave due to fears of war.
