Israel to send Gaza troops to northern front as it prepares for war with Lebanon
As several thousand Israeli troops will be taken out of Gaza in the coming weeks, a senior Israeli official said Israel will be preparing for a war with Lebanon.
The official told Reuters that not all troops who will return from Gaza will go home, as some would be prepared for rotation to the northern border with Lebanon.
"The situation on the Lebanese front will not be allowed to continue. This coming six-month period is a critical moment," the official said, as he revealed that Israel would convey a similar message to a U.S. envoy conducting shuttle missions to Beirut.
