      Maybe they’re eyeing potential spoils of war? These military operations will need sources of financing.

      But, realistically, they’re probably planing the formation of an exclusion zone to avoid Hezbollah installing missile launchers so close to Israel’s borders.

        Spoils of war? On a war that they started? To pay for the military operations of exterminating Palestinians? Is that honestly how you justify this?

      “Limited operation.”

      “Well they have to stay to prevent threats from reconstituting.”

      “The settlers are just unfortunate extremists.”

      “Today, I recognize the Litani as sovereign Israeli territory…”

      “Learn your lesson: if you attack Israel it will get bigger. FAFO.”

      “Lebanon is attacking innocent defenseless Jews in Israel’s Litani region! What revanchism! They’re stuck in the past! We must prevent the Holocaust!”

      “Limited operation.”
