It appears that Israel may invade Lebanon, to pushed back Hezbollah from the border, at anytime between now and five weeks from now. According to one report, the US Envoy Amos Hochstein was giving Lebanon five weeks to make Hezbollah pull back, but most reports sound like this war may start at any moment, or even could have already started as it’s almost 3 am in Jerusalem.
