As region awaits ground op announcement, various politicians post unsubtle hints

As people in Israel, Lebanon, and elsewhere await the beginning of Israel’s ground offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, several reports about it already having begun are disproved, while Israeli officials are dropping not-so-subtle hints about the looming operation.

Minister Amichay Eliyahu and coalition MK Michal Woldiger join Aryeh Deri in posting general war-related prayers and general phrases about victory and the need to return displaced northern residents to their homes.

Minister Amichai Chikli makes do with reposting a tweet that contains an Israeli flag.

MK Moshe Solomon posts a long tweet praising the alleged start of the ground incursion, only to delete it minutes later.

Subsequently, Hebrew media outlets report that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has told ministers and MKs to not issue public comments at all on matters related to IDF activity in Lebanon.
