The situation on Israel’s northern border escalated on Wednesday after an anti-tank missile was fired at an IDF near the Lebanese border.
Shortly later, the IDF spokesperson said that dozens of fighter jets carried out strikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon
“A short while ago, a launch of an anti-tank guided missile from Lebanon toward a military post adjacent to the community of Arab al-Aramshe on the Lebanese border was identified,” the IDF said in a statement.
Hezbollah issued a statement saying that the attack was a response to the deaths of three of its members on Monday.
Hezbollah also fired an anti-tank guided missile at an IDF tank near the border on Tuesday evening. Fortunately, it was empty at the time.
Israel is preparing for a possible battle on a second front and some Israeli yishuvim on the northern border have reportedly been ordered to evacuate their homes. Also, the Galil Hospital in Nahariya transferred its patients to an underground facility. Rambam Hospital in Haifa has also prepared its underground facilities in preparation for war.
US President Joe Biden warned Iran and Hezbollah of joining the war against Israel in his speech on Tuesday.

Should have dropped a few bombs at the funeral
Israel is a bit slow these days, they have yet to learn the importance of a preemptive strike
They only attack after they have been attacked, liberals are still controlling the IDF
