JAKARTA - Israel is ready for an all-out war in Lebanon. The Israeli military says its Northern Command on Israel's northern border is ready with plans for a ground attack on Lebanon.

The news from Israel's foreign and military ministers was delivered on Tuesday, June 18 evening following Hezbollah releasing footage of drones deemed to threaten Israel's stability.

Mnegutip Al Jazeera, this rising tension contradicts the United States (US)' efforts to prevent escalation amid low-level hostilities on the Israel-Lebanon border for months.

The footage of the Hezbollah drone depicts the Chinese port city of Haifa during the day.

The nine-minute video shows civilian and military areas, including malls and settlements, in addition to weapons manufacturing complexes and missile defense batteries.

Israeli Foreign Minister, Israel Katz responded strongly to the drone footage. He said Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah had boasted about filming the port of Haifa, operated by foreign companies from China and India.

We are very close to the moment of decision-making to change regulations against Hezbollah and Lebanon. In an all-out war, Hezbollah will be devastated and Lebanon will be severely affected," Katz tweeted on his X social media account.
