If true (I’m skeptical) then Israel basically got to decapitate most of HZ leadership, kill or maime thousands of HZ soldiers, destroy vast parts of Southern Lebanon with many civilian deaths, and destroy parts of HZ vast stockpile of munitions all with very little consequences.
And Nasrallah still quickly accepted a cease fire.
Once again, what deterrence was exactly established here? This expanded theater started and ended on Israeli terms. This will only further emboldened Bibi and the Far right to continue their attacks on Axis.
