Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

There are reports of large numbers of troops and tanks moving to the border, so it seems like they are really going to do it.

On paper, Hezbollah still has everything they need to defeat such an invasion. Either the Israeli leadership is fully detached from reality, or they have more cards up their sleeve.

Also, from what I've heard, it sounds like Israel will invade through Syria in an attempt to bypass defenses in Lebanon. But both Hezbollah and Syria have probably been preparing for that for a while now.

How's the situation in Syria? I don't think they would appreciate Israel troops on their land

It may force a response from Assad that could end in an attept to liberate Golan heights, the syrian army is currently 130k strong who are experienced thanks to the civil war

They wouldn’t appreciate it, but the Syrian government’s capacity to respond to Israel has been severely hampered by the internal situation

A ground invasion against Syria will fix the Gazan and Lebanese fronts!

They are fully detached from reality. They have effectively opened up three fronts in the past month.

Let’s just assume full scale occupation is successful on all fronts, they’ve just welcomed a half dozen legitimate insurgencies that they have no chance of overcomingn in the long run. Zero. They are fucked.
