Nasrallah claims the rockets were a diversion for the 20-30 drones headed to a sensitive site north of Tel Aviv (IDF HQ) and that this was hit. Israel imposed new military censorship rules today coinciding with these strikes. so we won't know for sure if anything near Tel Aviv was actually hit.
Very interesting and thanks for sharing.
either way, both sides want to close this chapter and return to 'normal'.
They can close this chapter of the war but they can't close the "book" of this war. Unfortunately the deaths and stakes are so high right now in this war, it is easy to predict more fighting between ISrael and Hezbollah- teh reasons and motivations and timings all vary but what doesnt change is that attacks continue between both sides.
which signals weakness by Hezbollah IMO
Looking weak =/= being weak.
Hezbollah may look weak to you in this situation, but that doesn't mean its weak (in general) against Israel. Hezbollah is actually very strong, because it is able to prevent Israel from achieving its regional and strategic goals,especially during regional wars like the ongoing one in Gaza (and other parts of the region).
This war will likely go regional or intense (like between Israel and Hezbollah) before it settles down, because survival or/and "prevention of suicide option" seems to be motivating both sides in the conflict, and it doesn't look like this conflict will slow down very soon, but i hope it will (hopefully the negotiations will be successful). I dont think Israel will negotiate seriously or compromise enough until it is strategically exhausted and feeling down, and no, Israel IS organic, it can decay.
but understandable as they are inherently weaker than Israel and have more to lose in an all out war.
Being inherently weaker doesnt matter, what matters is who wins the war in the end on terms and results that are favorable to them. US and Israel are quite good and "being stronger" but meanwhile they lose 90% of their wars in modern time, to groups like the Taliban that were "iherently weaker" than they were. The inherently weaker groups apparently fighter harder and in a more determined manner, which explains their wins in recent times over these "inherently stronger" countries.
