A Hizbullah Invasion of Northern Israel Nearly Happened on Oct. 7
(Ynet News) Yair Kraus - Long before Oct. 7, the IDF was aware of Hizbullah's detailed plans to invade the Galilee. On Oct. 7, 2,400 fighters from Hizbullah's Radwan Force and 600 terrorists from Palestinian Islamic Jihad had been standing by with full gear and designated targets in Israel. A second wave of 5,300 Hizbullah fighters was slated to follow. What prevented the attack, Israeli officials now believe, was a single phone call from Tehran. When the IDF eventually entered southern Lebanon, it uncovered a vast network of prepared weapons caches and infrastructure. I crossed the border nearly ten times with the IDF and saw there was hardly a house without weapons. Even in recent weeks, the IDF has continued locating and destroying weapons stockpiles near the border.
