Deep dives

Israel prepares for possible invasion of Gaza and Lebanon fires rockets into Israel

Israel's defense minister has told ground troops to prepare for a possible invasion of Gaza, while rockets have been fired from Lebanon into Israel. The situation is tense as Israel considers a ground invasion and Lebanon may join the conflict. However, there are doubts about Lebanon's willingness to engage in open conflict with Israel, given their past experiences. Furthermore, the international community is unlikely to support Lebanon if they choose to escalate the situation. Meanwhile, Hamas has a smaller rocket arsenal compared to Hezbollah, and there are concerns that Hezbollah may possess precision-guided rockets. This adds to the potential threat to Israel, but it remains to be seen how Hezbollah will respond to the ongoing conflict.
