(franceinfo)
Israel may choose to send ground troops after days of bombing in Lebanon, which have killed 600 people, according to the UN. A prospect that worries Beirut residents.
Two Israeli strikes hit the city of Nabatieh, in Lebanon, on Wednesday, September 25. A new day of bombardments launched by Israel on the south and east of Lebanon. Since Monday, the Hebrew state, claiming to target Hezbollah, says it has struck 280 sites in the country. According to the UN, more than 90,000 Lebanese have fled their homes.
Some have found refuge in Syria. After three days of strikes, 600 dead and thousands wounded, are these bombings only the first step in the Israeli war plan? This afternoon, the chief of staff of the Israeli army was filmed, warning his men that they must prepare to enter Lebanese territory. A publicity stunt or a real military prospect, the hypothesis of a ground operation by Tsahal in Lebanon is making the inhabitants of Beirut feverish.
