The decision to go to war with Hezbollah has been made months ago by the Israeli leadership.

The only thing that was needed was a Casus Belli, which they now have.

This remains a possibility.

At this point, it is unclear whether it was actually a Hezbollah missile.

— 🇮🇱 Israeli media are furious at Netanyahu

@Middle_East_Spectator

🇱🇧🇮🇱⚡️- Israeli Minister of Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has made a statement on the bombing in Majdal Shams:

"Since October 8th I have been saying that we are at war in the north and the enemy must be defeated, and groups of decision makers have for 10 months avoided acknowledging that we are fighting Hezbollah.

Today, no one, no one, including the Secretary of Defense, who sought only to contain Hezbollah, can escape the bloody reality that we are at war.

I call on the Prime Minister to immediately convene the Cabinet of Ministers, also via an encrypted communication channel, to make a decision that I have been demanding for a long time - war in the north now!"

I can really recommend this channel btw – just double check their posts to make sure.

I'd say they're accurate 80% of the time. Good stuff. Good friends.

📄 Netanyahu cuts his visit to the USA, will fly the soonest back to Israel.

His return flight was scheduled after the end of Saturday in the US. So he's coming half a day earlier.
