Submission statement: The U.S. has deployed a small number of troops to Cyprus due to increasing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.
This action is primarily a precautionary measure, with the troops preparing for potential evacuation operations of U.S. citizens from Lebanon if the conflict escalates into a full-blown war.
Cyprus, which previously played a critical role in evacuations during the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, is once again positioned as a key location for such operations. Similarly, the UK has stationed 700 troops in Cyprus to prepare for potential evacuations of British citizens. Both countries are urging their citizens to leave Lebanon while commercial travel remains available

Greek side or Turkish side?
oh boy. it seems things will get on fire. i guess hezbollah days are numbered. and we all know that iran won’t do anything to save them. they will leave them to their fates and then search for another proxy. i think everyone here knows this.
what i want to know is this. what will happen after israel exterminate hezbollah? are they going to occupy the region? are they going to withdraw? i am not really sure what they will do and i lack the details to judge.
