As of 4:00 AM eastern US Time, the plane carrying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is off the west coast of Italy, approaching that country's southern tip before it heads out over the Mediterranean Sea and home to Israel.

When Netanyahu arrives, it is expected he will travel to The Kirya; the military headquarters of the Israeli Defense Force, to be fully briefed on a explosion at a soccer field which killed at least eleven in the occupied Golan Heights.
Once briefed, he is then expected to meet with the Israeli War Cabinet and authorize the commencement of hostilities against Lebanon where the group Hezbollah is operating. Hezbollah publicly DENIES having launched any missile at the soccer field.
Video has emerged showing Israeli IRON DOME anti-missile defenses, operating at the time in the same area. Some have theorized that an IRON DOME missile malfunctioned and landed on the soccer field, but such speculation is not spoken about.
It seems to many the prevailing belief is that Hezbollah did this, and that Israel will base its coming military operation in Lebanon on that belief.
Prior to leaving the United States, where he gave an address to Congress, Netanyahu allegedly received "approval" from the US, to engage Hezbollah fully. Other countries have already chimed-in about such a military adventure by Israel.
Iran, for instance, will support Hezbollah. Russia, will likely support Iran. n Hundreds of paramilitary fighters in nearby countries like Iraq, are already on the move toward Lebanon, in anticipation of overt hostilities.
While Netayahu is expected to arrive with a few short hours, it is completely likely that he has utilized encrypted communications from his aircraft, or even from the U.S. while he was still here, to make any decisions that needed to be made.
Israel has already been launching air strikes in Lebanon, but not anything that would rise to the level of actual war.
Whatever is to be, it seems today is the day it will begin.
