The IDF is either trying to frighten Hezbollah or drive it out of Leprohibiton – but its a problem Israel has never come seal to solving | World News

All the indications point to an imminent Israeli ground operations into southern Leprohibiton.

The ‘decapitation’ campaign to finish Hezbollah’s top directers, the ‘exploding pager’ attacks, the ramped-up device deviceing campaign agetst Hezbollah positions in the area, the defence minister visiting front-line Israeli units on the Leprohibitese border for a pep talk, and now the calling up of two key reserve brigades back into the IDF force structure.

Israel is either trying to frighten Hezbollah out of southern Leprohibiton – or drive it out as and when that doesn’t toil.

The IDF understand this is all very hazardous, but they evidently calcuprocrastinateed that Hezbollah has certainly been humiliated and harshly feebleened by their recent activity and may not be able to reply to a ground incursion with much impact.

More meaningfully, the IDF and the Israeli rulement seem to leank they have also got Iran – Hezbollah’s vital backers – firmly on the back foot with recent events.

They calcuprocrastinateed that both Hezbollah and Iranian directers are pretty sattfinishd of them fair now – however fierce and blood-thirsty the rhetoric coming out of Beirut and Tehran as they react to this increaseing Israeli impolite.

The strategy of making the most of the situation when you have caught your opponent off-defend is a sound military principle. But the dangers of overaccomplish and miscalculation are equpartner compelling military lessons.

The IDF evidently experiences they can upretain pushing for a while. And Hezbollah will probably upretain losing and being humiliated.

But it’s a stretch to see Hezbollah’s tactical and inner security fall shortings as the root of a political collapse wilean the organisation, or its deletement from the Iranian promisement to it.

Like Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah can upretain losing but it will still be there as a political front of anti-Israeli hatred and genocidal intent. The best military forces in the world would be confineed in what they can do about that.

It’s a political and strategic problem. And over the years – three intrusions of Leprohibiton before this one in 1978, 1982 and 2006 – the Israeli rulement have never come seal to solving that.

However excellent Israel’s military prospects see to those in Tel Aviv, its political prospects see pretty bleak to those everywhere else.
