Our top stories show how it gets more and more difficult for Israel by the moment....
Headline 1 Report: Two Hamas battalions not participating in fighting
Hamas assigned a significant force that is not participating in the war, with the intention of creating a governing force in Gaza after the war.
Sources in Gaza say that Hamas was prepared for the Israeli plan to disband all battalions of its military arm and therefore prepared its own plan, which is based on two battalions that will be a governing force in Gaza after the war, Kan News reported.
It is obvious that Hamas has no intention of accepting any ceasefire proposal that will remove them from power…they will have to be forcibly removed… Therein lies the problem.
However, another problem for Israel looms
Headline 2 No one wants to see regional war in Middle East'- Pentagon. (REUTERS)
The United States does not want to see a wider regional war in the Middle East, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, as Israel's defense forces approved operational plans for an offensive in Lebanon.
Headline 3 Top Israeli generals approve Lebanon offensive battle plans, army says
The head of the IDF’s Northern Command Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin and head of the Operations Directorate Maj. Gen. Oded Basiuk approved Lebanon battle plans today, the military says.
In a statement, the IDF says the generals held an assessment, during which “operational plans for an offensive in Lebanon were approved.”
It is clear neither Israel nor the US wants to see a wider regional war. However, it is not up to them.
Headline 4 New Hezbollah drone penetrates deep into Israel, films Haifa port
The Lebanese Al Mayadeen network published a nine-minute video today (Tuesday) taken by one of the Hezbollah terrorist organization's new 'Hoopoe' drones. The UAV penetrated deep into Israeli territory and filmed its flyover of the port of Haifa.
The UAV filmed multiple sensitive sites, including chemical storage sites, oil storage sites, and the entire port.
Hezbollah wants Israel to know that they are in their crosshairs.
Hezbollah has more strategic capabilities that Hamas if a war occurs… The only hope is a cease fire that Lebanon will accept… however, herein lies a bigger problem.
Headline 5 Responding to Hezbollah’s Strategic Offensive
(Caroline Glick)
As always she wrote a superb article summing up the situation in Lebanon (more of which we will discuss tomorrow) However, for our purposes, it is this section which explains the problem....
Hezbollah is able to advance its operations because it is protected by a series of actors both within Lebanon and in the international arena. ... Hezbollah is Iran’s Lebanese foreign legion. It is also Lebanon itself.
Hezbollah controls all aspects of politics and security affairs in the country and much of the economy. Lebanon’s official bodies, its state institutions (including the Lebanese Armed Forces), the parliament, the Central Bank and the government are all fig leaves whose purpose is to hide this basic truth. UNIFIL, the U.N. military force mandated to keep Hezbollah away from the border with Israel, operates at Hezbollah’s pleasure. Its personnel live (and die) at Hezbollah’s pleasure.
Under Hezbollah’s control, Lebanon is not an actual country. It is Iran’s forward military base against Israel that happens to have 5.5 million residents. The job of the residents is to deny that they live in an Iranian missile base.
Since Lebanon is under Iran's control, they are ultimately the ones who will call the shots, as they do in Gaza. They will have no interest in a peace agreement that will help Israel.
Finally, as if the world did not have enough problems, how about this story from the Washington Post as a solution to the big problems the Democrats face with the upcoming election...
Headline 6 Democrats are wrestling with an age-old problem Maybe Hillary Clinton could come to the rescue (Washington Post)
The gist of the story is that Kamala Harris steps down as VP in favor or Hilary Clinton. Therefore...
If Biden needs to step down, even those who didn’t vote for Clinton would have confidence in her ability to keep the country on track. It’s just a thought, but worse ideas have met with regrettable success.
So Joe runs with Hilary as his running mate so she can step in when he invariably will be unable to continue to serve four more years.
There are many things that may happen in Israel, Iran, and in the US. The good news is that we know from the Bible how it will eventually turn out!
