Lebanon-Israel War | 2023-present

[The SC]

At dawn on Friday, Israeli warplanes launched intense raids on several areas in the southern suburb of Beirut, after nearly 6 days of cautious calm. The raids targeted the areas of Al-Ruwais, Haret Hreik, and Al-Ghobeiry with more than 10 violent raids whose echoes were heard throughout Beirut at a time when it witnessed... #Burj _ Al-Barajneh area: a large wave of population displacement.

It has been true forever that in war situations, both sides engage in propaganda and self-serving distortions in reporting their successes and their losses. It is as true of all of the actors on the "Resistance" side as it is of Israel. Sometimes, in retrospect, we can determine who lied and who told the truth. One could easily say: How could Israel possibly know how many drones Hezbollah had in the first place in order to arrive at their 70% number? Answer: They couldn't. So, I take your point. But, it is still important information that you should take on board as you consume the propaganda from the Resistance.

You must assume at this point the slowly number of avaiable troops in an already small country like Israel. In EU we are seeing many men on their military age that are fleeing from serving in the IDF. Assuming more losses than those published by Israeli government, we can assume that time is running against Israel. At least in terms of men, morale and economic spending rate. I am confident that probably HZ have suffered twice or even triple losses. But this attritional war cannot be win by Israel. Aswell, It is probably that even HZ has same flow of volunteers joining their forces than men fleeing from Israel.
Those reasons maybe explain the growing interest of Netanyahu for a new status quo in South Lebanon.

I acknowledge that the resistance to Israel is caused by the fact that Palestinians who have lost their place, their land, their homes, to the political entity of Isreal have not accepted defeat or are yet willing to accept peace as dictated by Israel. The non-Palestinian parts of the "resistance" are apparently motivated by anti-Jewish concerns that are justified by (1) sympathy for the Palestinians, a sense of existential justice denied, and (2) religious imperatives justified by the teachings of Islam. I also accept that the permanent damages that have been borne by the two sides are wildly unequal. Ratios of 10:1 or even 100:1 in the loss of life and property favor the Israelis over the Palestinians. However, I accept the moral right for the Jews to exist in true peace in their 1967 +/- lands. Until the "resistance" absolutely accepts that, I also accept that the resistance must continue to pay the 100:1 price they are experiencing. Until that time, I will urge my government to provide whatever it can to allow Israel to continue their fight for absolute peace.

I accept It all. But not invoke human rights regarding israelí civilians as israelis doesn't distinguish between Resistants and civilians. Pure Force. Let's see who will win at long term. No rules. No morale.

Hezbollah can shoot down their drones with even manpads.

The confidence Hezbollah has about being able to deal with the IDF was on the back of it's forces being trained like special forces and the drones and ATGMs they now have.

It's a nightmare for the IDF trying to advance because all they do is put the IDF in harms way,

Let's say their is a massive push with American support to occupy everything up to the Litani river, all that will do is give Hezbollah multiple multiple targets and IDF constant costs and problems


That's why the IDF has been so murderous, it's only option is use American jets to drop American bombs on civilian targets and hope that the pain forces Hezbollah to submit,

Zionists cannot get the 24/7 realtime coverage they need as Hezbollah has advanced manpads that simply shoot the drones down. They may also have portable SHORADS that could also be used.

Hills and forests of South Lebanon are ideal ambush country and that is why we are seeing such desperation from the Zionists that they are even threatening to kill Assad(empty in my opinion as he has decent air defences and will probably now be in underground bunkers or at least get to them at short notice).


After the euphoria of September with the pager attacks and killing of Nasrallah not only is Hezbollah stopping the Zionists at the border but also now causing huge waves of destruction across Northern Palestine.

Israel doesn't have the forces

After Oct 7th 2023, Israel called on its reservists
Many of these were Jews from across the world, USA, UK
Others were normal reservists from across Israel

These people have now been called multiple times
Some have been killed
Others injured and disabled
Most have committed attrocities or seen attrocities be committed

The pressure is showing, on them, their families
Multiple reservists are refusing to go back

Israel wants Hamas and Hezbollah to stop fighting
It was with U.S support to enforce the U.N regulation that forces Hezbollah behind the Litani

It wants Hamas to give up so Israel can initiate it's plan to control Gaza like it controls the west bank

Otherwise nothing is possible
Israel gets it's cities fired up on by Hezbollah and increasing iranian supplies and threats that is beginning to cause Israel major economic and other problems
And if Hamas keeps fighting then subduing the Palestinians becomes impossible
Combine that with international law and opposition then Israel is stuck



They are waiting to see what happens in the election, if Harris wins then Israel will feel cornered
If trump wins Israel will feel they can get his support to and American support to fight

US intended to inform UK about Israeli stealth drone use over Iran

Top secret US government documents leaked last week show that Israel has been using a long-range surveillance drone capable of flying covertly over Iran

www.middleeasteye.net

However, another piece of intelligence is marked as being for the eyes of US and British intelligence only: that Israel has been using a long-range unmanned surveillance drone which is capable of flying covertly over Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East.

The drone, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is a “covert” drone named RA-01. It was not publicly known about.

The mysterious drone allegedly filmed on Oct. 28, 2024 off Lebanon (Image credit: The Aviationist using screenshots from video posted on X)

Video of Mysterious Drone Allegedly Flying Over Lebanon Sparks Speculation on Secret Israeli RA-01 Stealth UAV

A closer look at the clip of a drone claimed to be Israel’s secretive stealth RA-01 drone. A low-resolution video, likely recorded from a considerable

key takeaways from the video:

1. IDF's Invasion and Strategy:
   
   • Israel launched a significant invasion into South Lebanon against Hezbollah, deploying a large force, including four divisions and approximately 60,000 troops.
   • The primary strategy involved a systematic advance through Lebanese territory, aiming to capture and control key areas.
2. Initial Struggles and Terrain Challenges:
   
   • Hezbollah's fortified positions, hilly terrain, and urban landscapes in South Lebanon posed significant obstacles, with IDF advancing cautiously to reduce casualties.
   • Israeli forces adapted tactics learned from previous conflicts, particularly from their operations in Gaza, using light vehicles instead of heavy armor.
3. Hezbollah's Resistance and Impact on IDF:
   
   • Hezbollah primarily used anti-tank missiles, rockets, and explosive devices to engage IDF from a distance.
   • IDF faced increasing casualties as they navigated narrow, ambush-prone roads and defended positions, with casualties rising quickly due to Hezbollah's tactics.
4. International Dynamics:
   
   • International tensions escalated as UN peacekeepers in Lebanon were occasionally caught in crossfire, with incidents where Israeli fire hit UN observation posts.
   • U.S. and other international entities urged caution to prevent harm to UN forces and civilians in the region.
5. Casualty Rates and Psychological Warfare:
   
   • Israel reported a lower casualty rate than in similar past operations, but the conflict still strained its forces. Hezbollah’s sporadic yet impactful strikes demonstrated its capability for high-cost, low-frequency attacks.
   • Israel used psychological tactics, such as targeted strikes on Hezbollah’s communication channels, aiming to demoralize their forces.
6. Media Coverage and Bias:
   
   • The video highlights media biases in reporting the conflict, with left-leaning sources focusing on humanitarian concerns, while right-leaning sources emphasize military operations.
   • The video uses tools like Ground News to analyze media coverage and its bias, providing a balanced view for research on the conflict.
7. Projected Next Steps:
   
   • IDF may continue to push further into Lebanon to neutralize Hezbollah’s positions in fortified urban areas and achieve a demilitarized zone, fulfilling objectives under UN Resolution 1701.
   • Long-term operations are anticipated due to the nature of Hezbollah’s entrenched positions, meaning Israel may need reinforcements to sustain its advance.

In previous decades Israel reached the litani river in between 8-11 days, the long-term consequences of constant conflict is what forced Israel out, otherwise they would have annexed southern Lebanon


Tody Israel has spent over a month trying only to be hammered by Hezbollah
Israel has lost over 40 tanks and suffered multiple casualties, whilst northern occupied Palestine is clear of Israelis

Their only option has been bombing from aircraft

Israel cannot maintain this especially if Iran keeps hitting them
Israel is DESPERATE for the USA to step in and take the pressure

They are now in a trap of their own making.

Hezbollah are absolutely smashing them, Hamas with some outstanding and unbelieveable heroism is killing and injuring them regularly in Gaza, Houthis/Syrian/Iraqi resistance are hitting with missiles and drones and to top it all off Iran is going to given them another beating.

Their barbarity is not going to work anymore to save them from just retribution and punishment this time.

To revenge their losses the zionists are doing scorched earth across Gaza and Lebanon.

They DESPERATELY want the U.S or Europe or someone to step in and threaten iran or Hezbollah to STOP

Their soldiers and small society can't take multiple and repeated tours or deployments
Their small state and economy can't sustain years of war and conflict

Their Jew plan was be murderous as possible and make the Palestinians and Hezbollah SUBMIT
The PALESTINIANS however, whilst broken and battered refuse to submit

So Israel literally as a act of EVIL is targeted them in groups to murder to try and FORCE the Palestinians to submit, which won't happen



I feel Kamala if she wins will be in a better position to push back against Israel and Israel will be very isolated

Trump however is a clown and you will have four years of mindless Israel support, however it will damage Israel and the U.S beyond recognition
