US was informed about Israeli battle plan

A reprter from the New Yorker, full of anonymous sources, claims that Israel briefed the US military on their battle plans.

I smell joint military planning

I'm inclined to see this in the Politics of War forum.
It's really hard to tell what your intentions are here, seeing as you only had a one-sentence comment. Care to elaborate on your post?

from your source, above:

"Israel had devised a plan for attacking Hezbollah, and shared it with Bush administration officials, well before" 12 July, Seymour Hersh wrote.

The article in the New Yorker magazine relies on many anonymous sources and includes denials from US officials.

It does not claim that the US put Israel up to attacking Hezbollah.

Seymour Hersh is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, whose past work includes exposing the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and Vietnam's My Lai massacre.
