Netanyahu has gone for the a la carte war menu and chosen the lot

Benjamin Netanyahu clearly believes that he now has a unique opportunity to go for all of Israel's enemies all at once while the world waits for a new American president to enter the White House. Right now, nothing can stop him, certainly not the United States, and so he has grabbed his moment and issued order for the Israel Defence Forces to eliminate as many of the country's enemies as possible and to destroy their strongholds and command bunkers and missile stocks. In a whirlwind of military aggression, the Israeli leader has ordered attacks on Hezbollah, anti-Israel forces in Syria and Yemen and a decapitation operation which has already removed about three-quarters of the Hezbollah leadership hierarchy. President Biden can't stop him, no leader in Europe has any power to stop him and no one in the Middle East dares interfere. Netanyahu is on a roll and won't stop until he has completed his list of enemies to be annihilated. Whether that will involve a full-scale invasion of southern Lebanon we have yet to see, but all the signs are that one or maybe two divisons of troops and tanks will cross the border in an attempt to drive Hezbollah back. If there is an a la carte war menu, Netanyahu has chosen everything in the knowledge that at least for the next few months he will probably get away with it.
