An Israeli newspaper has warned Israel about the consequences of launching a ground invasion against Lebanon, describing it a \u201cdeath trap\u201d set up by the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hebrew-language daily\u00a0Yedioth Ahronoth <\/em>said on Friday that Israeli forces could be exposed to potential risks should Tel Aviv attempt a ground invasion of Lebanon.<\/p>\n

It said\u00a0<\/strong>there is no immediate readiness for an incursion into the Arab country despite the deployment of the regime\u2019s troops to\u00a0the northern part of the occupied territories. <\/em><\/p>\n

The newspaper went on to say that the majority of senior leadership believes that Israel made \u201ca tragic and bitter mistake\u201d by waging a war on Lebanon twice before and that it should avoid doing so again.<\/p>\n

It said Israel\u2019s current approach is a repeat of its strategy when it waged a war against Lebanon in 2006, believing it could defeat Hezbollah using air power alone, without a ground invasion.<\/p>\n

When that strategy failed and Hezbollah continued to launch attacks on Israeli towns and cities, Israel was forced to invade Lebanon \u2013 an invasion and war that \u201cfailed to achieve any of its objectives,\u201d the newspaper added.<\/p>\n

This comes amid the latest escalation of violence between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon that has raised the risk of a greater regional war.<\/p>\n

Israel has been conducting near-daily attacks against southern Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

Hezbollah has been responding with strikes aimed both at retaliating against the regime and supporting the war-hit Gazans.<\/p>\n

The regime has repeatedly threatened to expand its attacks into another wholesale military onslaught against the country.<\/p>\n

Hezbollah has vowed to defend the Lebanese soil with all its resources.<\/p>\n

Two Israeli wars waged against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006 were met with strong resistance from Hezbollah, resulting in the retreat of the regime in both conflicts.Meanwhile, retired Israeli general Itzhak Brik warned that if the regime\u2019s campaign of genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip continues for another year and the conflict expands into a regional war, Israel will collapse.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this war of attrition which has recently expanded with Hezbollah, continues for another year, there is a high probability Israel may not survive,\u201d\u00a0Brik told the Hebrew-language\u00a0Radio 103FM.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

He said the explosion of wireless communication devices\u00a0in Lebanon has greatly reinforced the emphasis on the continuation of this war with the real danger of expanding it into a regional war on multiple fronts.<\/p>\n

The retired general also stated that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s motives \u201care not rational, but rather stem from his desire to survive at any cost,\u201d emphasizing that he is continuing a war in which Israel cannot win.<\/p>\n

Brik said Netanyahu must stop \u201cthe futile fighting\u201d against Hamas and not decide to fight against the entire Arab world, warning that that Israel cannot survive for long without \u201cthe enlightened Western world, which is distancing itself\u201d from this entity.<\/p>\n
