A third Lebanon War has already begun with significant IDF strikes against Hezbollah deep into Lebanon, according to a security official speaking to Ynet. The official suggested that the current events in the North should be referred to as the ‘Third Lebanon War.’
The IDF is set to launch a massive attack in rural areas of Lebanon, signaling a new stage of conflict. The source warned of a potential larger scale response from Hezbollah, including attacks on northern Israel and possibly even Tel Aviv.
