That’s been pretty well established. They bombed Saudi facilities within about 10km of the Grand Prix venue while the F1 event was running a few years back. All it would’ve taken was one miscalculation and the rest of the world would’ve had ample reason to wipe the Houthi off the face of the earth.
I think we’re well past scandals in this is respect. Disgustingly is probably better to use. At this stage it’d be a bigger scandal should Israel pull their troops back and send in at least a loaf of bread…
So after Israel went full James Bond with exploding pagers, walkie talkies, etc. They followed it it up in the last couple days with one of the biggest bombing campaigns seen in the region (outside of Palestine), launching approximately 1,500 air strikes in 48 hours across Beirut and Lebanon, killing in excess of 550 people.
It comes following Hezbollah launching approximately 800 rockets into Northern Israel following the pager/walkie talkie bombs.
Israel has mentioned theyre preparing for a possible ground offensive into Lebanon
It seems kinda unlikely. AJE reporting they’ve called up two regiments, far less than they used in Gaza, and Hezbollah is a much bigger kettle of fish in more difficult terrain.
