Iran began a coordinated missile attack against Israel this afternoon.
The news comes on the heels of Israel preparing its ground invasion of Lebanon targeting the terrorist group Hezbollah.
News that apparently Joe Biden and his administration leaked to the press before the operation.
Yesterday, The Washington Post broke the news that Israel was prepping the stealth military operation.
“Israel is planning a limited ground operation in Lebanon that could start imminently, Israel has told Washington, a U.S. official said. Israel’s planned campaign would be smaller than its last war against Hezbollah in 2006 and would focus on clearing out militant infrastructure along the border to remove the threat to Israeli border communities, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private talks between the two governments. On Monday, Israeli forces carried out limited raids in Lebanon, according to an Israeli familiar with the operation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.”
However, this bombshell report about the military operation is now being slammed by experts, despite Biden’s assertion that the U.S. supports Israel’s efforts to fight Hezbollah.
Many took to social media to slam the move as “betrayal.”
Constant betrayal.
This is why Israel does not trust Biden-Harris-Blinken. No sooner do they tell our regime of their next step in Lebanon and it’s immediately leaked to the Washington Post! pic.twitter.com/rIqjeB97aM

The Biden/Harris admin leaking the IDF plans for the ground operation in Lebanon today was disgusting. This is backstabbing an ally and putting Jewish soldiers in danger for political grandstanding. Remember this shameful behavior on November 5.

🚨 Senior Israeli official on US officials public statements before the ground operation: We didn't like it, the leaks were a dangerous move, they endangered the fighting forces. This was done even though the US support the operation, but it is clear to us that the US is worried…

This is not the first time information about Israeli military efforts was leaked to the press involving Biden.
In April 2021, the Biden administration leaked to The New York Times that Israel had attacked Iran’s ship Saviz in the Red Sea.
Amichai Stein of the Israel Public Broadcasting Corporation Kann tweeted, “US official tells NYT: Israel informed the US it attacked Iran’s ship Saviz in the Red Sea in ‘retaliation for earlier strikes on Israeli vessels’ and added: ‘the ship was damaged under the waterline.’”

In 2020, a report from the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) detailed how often the Obama-Biden administration had leaked information about Israel between 2010 and 2015.
In 2010, the Obama-Biden administration leaked information about a secret deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia in which the Saudis agreed to let Israel use their airspace in the event of an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
On March 22, 2012, the Obama-Biden administration leaked to The New York Times the results of a classified war game.
Institute for National Security Studies analyst Yoel Guzansky said of the leak, “It seems like a big campaign to prevent Israel from attacking. I think the [Obama-Biden] administration is really worried Jerusalem will attack and attack soon. They’re trying hard to prevent it in so many ways.”
Israel defense commentator Ron Ben-Yishai wrote in May 2012 that the leaks would “make it more difficult for Israeli decision-makers to order the IDF [Israeli Defense Forces] to carry out a strike, and what’s even graver, [would] erode the IDF’s capacity to launch such strike with minimal casualties.”
