Concern rising among Biden officials Israel may launch incursion into Lebanon

According to sources, there have been growing concerns among Biden administration and intelligence officials that Israel may launch a ground incursion into Lebanon if diplomatic efforts fail to push Hezbollah back from the northern border with Israel. The potential incursion could be launched in the late spring or early summer of 2021.

Hezbollah, a Shia Muslim militant group based in Lebanon, has been accused by Israel of carrying out attacks against Israeli targets and supporting terrorist groups in the region. In recent years, there have been several skirmishes between Israel and Hezbollah along the border, including a 2018 conflict that lasted for 33 days and resulted in the deaths of over 400 people.

The Biden administration has been working to de-escalate tensions in the region through diplomatic efforts, but there have been concerns that Hezbollah may continue to provoke Israel with attacks or other actions. If Israel decides to launch a ground incursion into Lebanon, it could lead to a significant escalation of conflict and potentially draw in other regional powers.
