General Kellogg joined America Reports on Fox to discuss the Israeli strikes in Lebanon, Part one.

August 1, 2024

Retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg recently joined Fox News’ America Reports to discuss the Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon. The focal point of the discussion was the Israeli attack on a Hezbollah operations room, aiming to neutralize a significant leader, If Fad Shakar, also known as Haj Mosen. Despite Hezbollah's claims that Mosen survived, conflicting reports suggest otherwise, with uncertainty surrounding his fate.

General Kellogg emphasized the potential for escalation, noting that Israel’s response was necessary to prevent further attacks. He highlighted the strategic implications of Israel's actions, aimed at sending a clear message to Hezbollah that there is no safe haven. Kellogg also pointed out the risk assessment undertaken by Israel, indicating that while the country is prepared for significant escalation, it may lack the logistical support for a prolonged conflict due to recent engagements with Hamas.

The discussion also touched on the broader geopolitical implications, with the State Department underscoring Israel's right to defend itself against Iran-backed proxies like Hezbollah. General Kellogg argued for a more supportive stance from the U.S., suggesting that Israel's actions are not just defensive but a moral obligation in the face of ongoing threats.
