    The whole area has been powder keg for decades. I don’t really know what sending military forces in will do.

      Israel has 170,000 active and 465,000 reserves. I’m seeing reports of them mobilizing 300,000 so that’s roughly half of their total forces. The Ford carrier strike group moving in is meant to deter anyone else (Hezbollah) from taking advantage of the situation and opening a second front while half the Israeli forces are occupied elsewhere.
