Israel sets new war goal, adding to signs of Hezbollah military action

Israel has a new war goal, adding to mounting signs that the conflict could soon expand to the country's north as it warned the U.S. that “military action” would likely be the only way to address mounting hostilities with Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.

With fears of a broader regional war growing, Israel's internal security agency, or Shin Bet, said Tuesday it had thwarted a Hezbollah plot to kill a former senior official in Israeli security establishment.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced late Monday that the security cabinet had updated its list of war objectives to include the safe return of residents who have been displaced from their homes near Israel's northern border with Lebanon due to months of fighting with Hezbollah.

"Israel will continue to act to implement this objective," the prime minister's office said.

In a meeting the same day with Amos Hochstein, a senior adviser to President Joe Biden, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said the only way to achieve that goal was "via military action."
