Israel Strikes Lebanon Again; U.S. Officials Concerned Netanyahu Sees Broader War Is Key to "His Political Survival"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel has reportedly carried out another targeted strike inside
southern Lebanon, killing three members of Hezbollah earlier today. This
comes one day after an Israeli drone strike assassinated Wissam
al-Tawil. He was the most senior Hezbollah figure killed by Israel in
recent months. The Washington Post is reporting that U.S. officials are
concerned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees expanding
the war to Lebanon as "key to his political survival."
