Israel to "Hezbollah": "Our Patience is Running Out"

Israeli threats to invade southern Lebanon have resurfaced, stating "if Hezbollah does not respond to the final warning," following the disclosure of Israeli messages to the United States and Lebanon expressing that "our patience is running out," according to Israeli media reports, amid ongoing exchanges of fire across the border in southern Lebanon. The newspaper "Maariv" quoted military sources saying that "the Israeli army is prepared to launch attacks against Hezbollah." The sources told the newspaper that "during the war in Gaza, we always kept a reserve of ammunition and forces that could be maneuvered in Lebanon. Fighting in Lebanon requires the Israeli army to use a lot of firepower and conduct a rapid invasion into Lebanon."
