US President Joe Biden will visit Israel on Wednesday. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said the president would reaffirm what he called America’s ‘ironclad’ commitment to Israel’s security. Israel meanwhile is continuing its airstrikes on Gaza and massing troops on the border as it prepares for an expected ground offensive.
The Israel Defense Force (IDF) said Tuesday that it prevented an infiltration of Lebanese militants seeking to enter Israel from neighboring Lebanon. Tensions have ramped up in recent days between Israel and Hezbollah. Hezbollah is an Iran-backed Shiite political organization and paramilitary group in Lebanon. The United States, Germany and several Sunni Arab countries deem Hezbollah to be a terrorist organization, while the European Union considers Hezbollah’s armed wing as a terrorist group.
