The Israeli war cabinet has approved the invasion of southern Lebanon according to different media sources.
Military expert Major-General Fayez al-Duwairi said Israel’s talk about its forces opening up to a ground operation in Lebanon means that the incursion is imminent, noting the matter currently depends on determining zero hour, which will necessarily be preceded by preliminary shelling he said on Al Jazeera.
Duwairi added that declaring a closed military zone in northern Israel confirms the need for space for the forces that will carry out the operation.
The Israeli government declared the area of Metula, Misgav Am and Kfar Giladi a closed military zone. Al-Duwairi said that expanding or reducing this area depends on the size of the forces that will be present in it.
“These indicators mean that we are about to begin the ground incursion,” noting that the occupation army always prefers to launch its ground attacks at night so that it can cross the starting line, which is the Blue Line, which is supposed to witness a direct clash, as pointed out in Jo24.
