Israel is 'preparing for ground invasion of Lebanon' to combat Hezbollah | LBC

Andrew Marr speaks to Shadow Foreign Secretary for the Conservative party Andrew Mitchell and Former U.S. ambassador to Lebanon Jeffrey Feltman as Israeli special forces have begun covert raids in Lebanon as tanks mass on the border ahead of a possible ground invasion.
It comes after Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner told LBC's Tom Swarbrick that a "ground operation" in Lebanon was part of a "huge set of tools" that Israel has to help return 60,000 Israeli citizens to their homes in its war-torn northern region.
Elite Israeli troops are understood to have begun sabotage missions, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, weapons sites and command centres. Israel wants to push Hezbollah away from the border.
The Wall Street Journal reports Israeli special forces have been carrying out 'small, targeted raids into southern Lebanon, gathering intelligence and probing ahead of a possible broader ground incursion.'
The special forces operations include scouting out Hezbollah's tunnel network along the country's border, according to reports.

[@sevantorus5545]

I am impartial but if Hezbollah surrenders and Israel has invaded Lebanon, don't you think they will re-occupy southern Lebanon? They have been open about expanding their territories. If in theory, the French invade UK, would the UK just surrender?

[@CapAnson12345]

If France was 100 times stronger than the UK and Britain had no hope of putting up even token resistance.. then yes they should.
