The reality on the ground indicates Israel may be preparing for the possibility of a much bigger war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. If so, the fight could get bloody.

Hezbollah is preparing for a long war of attrition in south Lebanon, after Israel wiped out its top leadership, with a new military command directing rocket fire and the ground conflict, two sources familiar with its operations said.

In a statement, the Israel War Room confirmed the activation of sirens, highlighting the escalating situation.
