Israel has announced a new policy of escalating its responses disproportionately to any fire on its territory, potentially leading to war in Lebanon. The targeted killing of Hezbollah's operations chief aims to demonstrate the group's vulnerability. Israel is prepared for a forceful response from Hezbollah, including the deployment of new capabilities. IDF Chief of Staff is meeting with division commanders in anticipation of a ground incursion into Lebanon. Israel is ready for an all-out war but still offers the opportunity for a U.S.-brokered deal.
