The Wall Street Journal reported that within a few days the Israeli-Palestinian conflict broke out,IsraelThe intelligence unit received thelebanonThe Shia militia Hezbollah was preparing to take advantage of the situation to launch a cross-border attack, so the National Defense Forces planned to strike first. At that time, Israeli military aircraft circled the northern border and waited for an order. The US PresidentBidenCall the Prime Minister promptlyNetanyahuIt said it was inconsistent with U.S. intelligence, and the National Defense Forces eventually terminated the operation.
At around 6:30 in the morning on October 11, Israeli officials urgently notified the White House that Hezbollah was planning an attack and that Israel planned to strike first and launch a preemptive attack. At that time, senior officials from the U.S. intelligence, military and national security agencies held a meeting immediately in the morning, including CIA Director William Burns, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Charles Q. Brown Jr.
During the meeting, Israel’s preemptive attack was discussed, and it was unanimously determined that Israeli intelligence did not match US intelligence.
After hearing the report, Biden called Netanyahu and urged him to carefully consider the consequences of his actions and stop. At first Netanyahu disagreed, but the cabinet, especially Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, explained that it would lead to a larger war and would be detrimental to gaining an advantage in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After 45 minutes of discussion, Netanyahu said he would discuss it again with the cabinet and ended the call.
At the same time, the northern Israeli army received information that Hezbollah might break into the border by hang gliding and driving, and at the same time issued an alert notice to the northern border, requiring all people to take refuge in air raid shelters.
U.S. and Israeli officials said that this was later confirmed to be another false alarm, and that after the U.S. insisted that intelligence did not indicate that Hezbollah was about to launch an attack, Israeli officials agreed to terminate the operation after about six hours of back-and-forth phone calls and discussions.
Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Biden administration has tried its best to use diplomatic mediation to prevent the situation on the border between northern Israel and Lebanon from escalating. There are almost daily incidents between the Israeli army and Hezbollah.PalestineFighting incident between militants. In response, the United States dispatched two aircraft carrier strike groups and a nuclear-powered submarine to the eastern Mediterranean.
Recently, the United States has established an expanded maritime defense force, “Operation Prosperity Guardian,” and has joined forces with nine allies in Europe and Africa to jointly protect merchant ships passing through the Red Sea from attacks by the Yemeni rebel youth movement (Houthi). Maintain shipping safety.
In fact, until now, the risk of bilateral misjudgment of the situation has always existed.
So far, militants in Lebanon have attacked Israel more than 200 times, killing 10 people, including 7 Israeli soldiers. Israel responded with nearly 1,000 attacks in southern Lebanon, killing more than 120 Hezbollah fighters and 10 Lebanese civilians.
