Israel Evacuating Border With Lebanon

The hope of preventing the Israeli-Hamas war from spreading into a more regional conflict appeared to diminish this morning. We learned that tensions along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon have increased to the point where Hezbollah fighters have been shooting out Israel’s security cameras. In response, Israel has begun evacuating 28 communities that exist within roughly one mile of the border. Residents will be temporarily moved to guesthouses funded by the state that are located further to the south. And Iran is continuing to make threatening noises, implying that they might take a more direct role if Israel doesn’t halt its retaliation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Defense Minister said that his country is fully prepared to fight a two-front war if they must, but the people of Lebanon would be putting themselves at risk if that happens.
