reference news reported on september 14according to a report on the israel times website on september 14, israeli prime minister netanyahu is expected to submit a motion to the security cabinet on the 15th to make the return of northern border residents to their homes an official war goal.
reports say that since october last year, lebanon's hezbollah has been attacking northern israel with rockets, drones and anti-tank missiles almost every day, saying the actions were to support gaza.
israel has repeatedly threatened to launch a major operation to push hezbollah back from its border, and as hopes for a ceasefire in gaza fade, the chances of a diplomatic deal with hezbollah are slim.
according to israel's walla news website on the 13th, us envoy amos hochstein will meet with israeli leaders on the 16th in the hope of avoiding further escalation of the situation.
u.s. officials told the website they were concerned about israel's increasingly belligerent rhetoric on lebanon and wanted to work to avoid an all-out war.
in addition, israeli defense minister yoav galant and idf chief of staff hezi halevi both warned this week that israel needs to turn its focus to lebanon and prepare for a large-scale operation.
about 60,000 israelis have been forced to flee their homes due to hezbollah's continued attacks on northern israel. israel has repeatedly stated that if no agreement can be reached, it will launch a full-scale war against hezbollah to restore "security" in the north. (compiled by wang dongdong)
