Netanyahu Orders IDF to 'Intensify Blows' against Hizbullah amid Surge in Drone Attacks
(Times of Israel) Nava Freiberg - Israel will escalate strikes against Hizbullah in Lebanon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday, as a U.S. official said the terror group had ignored warnings to halt firing at Israel in a conflict that could threaten US-Iran negotiations. Lebanese security sources said people had begun fleeing the southern suburbs of Beirut, a known Hizbullah stronghold, for fear of a renewed Israeli assault on the capital. In Israel, local leaders in communities along the northern border announced that schools would be shut on Tuesday and until further notice. A senior U.S. official indicated on Monday, amid a surge in drone attacks targeting Israel, that Washington could soon greenlight a larger Israeli operation against Hizbullah in Lebanon.
