Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Wednesday that the focus of Israel’s military operations was shifting to the north as part of a “new phase in the war.” His comments came after Israel detonated thousands of Hezbollah pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon, killing dozens, including two children.
“In a conversation with the Air Force personnel at the Ramat David base, I emphasized: We are opening a new phase in the war,” Gallant wrote on X. “The center of gravity is shifting to the north through the diversion of forces and resources.”
Israel detonated the pagers in Lebanon on Tuesday after the Israeli Security Cabinet met and agreed to add the return of displaced Israelis to their homes near the border with Lebanon as one of Israel’s war goals. Before Gallant’s statement, it was announced that Israel was redeploying some troops from Gaza to the northern border with Lebanon.
Gallant said that the purpose of shifting focus to the north was to “meet our goals — the return of the residents of the north to their homes after the change in the security situation.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a short video statement on Wednesday related to the situation in the north. “I have already said we will return the residents of the north safely to their homes. And that is exactly what we will do,” Netanyahu said in the video, which came out after thousands of walkie-talkies exploded in Lebanon.
Since October 7, Israel and Hezbollah have traded fire across the border, and Israeli officials have frequently threatened escalation, raising concerns that the situation could turn into a full-blown war that could potentially involve the US and Iran.
According to a count from Al Jazeera, as of September 6, Israel has launched 7,845 attacks on Lebanon since October 7, 2023, killing 646 people. In that time, Hezbollah launched 1,768 attacks on Israel, killing 32 Israelis.
Watch Your Back From the South…!
the south is too destroyed
be real with the beasts in the IDF
South is destroyed but Hamas is alive and well in their tunnels…! So do their rockets…!
… And it would be the the same Center of Gravity that would bring IDF down and bury them in Lebanon teritory…!
idk i hope so but the IDF isn't a joke
the reason the IDF is failing in Gaza is the same reason that Hamas still exists;
they are a decentralised group that can fight without a head or a few limbs
Hezbollah is more centralized; could be easier to dissect (theoretically)
If the IDF can't take out a Hamassian subset of a people the ASI has kept in an "open-air prison" for decades, they have NO chance against better armed, uncontained and un-embargoed Hezbollese forces.
Who, let's recall, are NOT a static entity and who ARE aware of IDF and American tactics dating from the 1980s to present. The Hezbollese saw the failings of the Talibanese, Al-Q, Daeshi'i, Saddam's Iraqi Army, and see the ongoing embarrassment the Houthinese successfully cause the Americans and Brits.
EVERYONE has been taking notes, and adjusting accordingly.
So much for Gallant being the one opposed to Netanyahu's goal of starting a war with Hezbollah. That was always bullshit.
People just don't get that all this PR crap coming from Israel and Washington is just that. It's a scam, it's a ruse.
Once again, read the Brookings Institute 2009 report (PDF download) that Brian Berletic has covered numerous times. This entire conflict has been intended for decades and has been planned over the last 25 years. Everything is proceeding directly to a major Middle East war before the West turns to China.
Time for you to write a substack on this UNGA resolution passed on Wednesday with 2/3s majority 😁
https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/ltd/n24/266/48/pdf/n2426648.pdf
Why bother? Without a "United For Peace" Resolution and someone actually willing to enforce it, nothing will happen.
My Substack from the other day explicitly said that.
That’s where the UNGA is headed with this. It’s only a week into the UN session.
The Apartheid regime designation is going to be significant. All sorts of ramifications.
joint-criminal-enterprise designation forthcoming ….,,
What homes…?! Their homes would be destroyed before they claim them…!
Their NEW homes. In "former South Lebanon".
Exactly what I said earlier. Two weeks ago Gallant was saying it was a bad idea to attack Hezbollah. Then, threatened with being canned by Netanyahu, he backtracks.
Beta behavior, Gallant. You've lost your alpha male status. LOL
I am tired of these Nazis/Zionists, so can someone please STOP the Insanity of Israelis? Time for this to be over, flatten Tel Aviv so it looks like Gaza, NOBODY will care, because the act of sacrificing Tel Aviv, will stop WW111. Of course, citizens of Tel Aviv, will be given time to LEAVE, hopefully they do not take their cancer with them.

Who knew 1990s-era pager technology would become 2024's new symbol of terrorism, replacing the humble box-cutter.
Additionally – why hasn't the Department of Reichland Security raised the Color Threat level in response to this, and banned personal electronic devices from passenger aircraft until this can be resolved ?
Fun fact: the walkie talkie company also supplies products to the US military. That might be useful in future false flag operations.
“Oh s**t.”
Good thing walkie-talkie tech isn’t wildly used all across law enforcement, fire, paramedical, construction and flagging, security, oil rigs, cranes, transit, stadiums and public venue staff….
Would that mean they run out of pagers and walkie talkies to blow…?!
