SUMMARY

Israel’s military is preparing a possible new offensive in Lebanon if the war with Iran reignites, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Friday.

Forces are preparing border positions and updating battle plans for winter while officials await a U.S. decision on resuming strikes against Iran.

The allies reportedly differ on goals. Netanyahu wants regime change, while some in Washington favor a short, intense campaign forcing Iran to negotiate, a deal that could boost Trump after midterm losses to Democrats.

Some Israeli officials believe Netanyahu is seeking another war with Iran to stay in power after his bloc fell short of a Knesset majority.
