Heavy Fire from Lebanon as War Set to Expand
(Ynet News) A senior Israeli official said Wednesday: "We are on the eve of opening a broad campaign in Lebanon. We will call up reservists....The campaign in Lebanon is set to expand significantly. Hizbullah, in its view, wants to divert our attention from Iran and believes that if it pulls us in deeper, we will ease off the campaign against Iran. It wants to create a new equation under which Israeli enforcement policy in Lebanon stops and we do not strike at all. That will not happen. So this entire event is heading toward a serious escalation." "It does not appear that Hizbullah is listening to calls from the Lebanese government to stop. They do not care about the Lebanese government....We will be able to conduct a campaign simultaneously in Iran and Lebanon. We have fought on seven fronts." Dozens of rockets were fired toward the Haifa Bay area. One rocket scored a direct hit on a house in the Lower Galilee Arab town of Bi'ina, injuring two. Officials said the latest barrage from Lebanon was coordinated and launched simultaneously from several areas, and the military said it was working to disrupt the fire. Since the war began, the military has identified more than 250 launches from Iran and more than 450 from Lebanon. In addition, more than 150 drones have been launched from Iran and more than 50 from Lebanon.
