DP.

I think that this is the unspoken position of the current Israeli government.

10/7 convinced them that they needed to fundamentally alter the regional security dynamic.

They're working to completely eliminate Hamas's infrastructure and fighting capabilities and (at a minimum) deter Hezbollah and Iran.

Possible that they'll go further against Hezbollah and attempt to permanently degrade their capabilities as well.

Will be very interesting to see how this ends.

At a minimum, it looks like 10/7 will be to Palestinians what Pearl Harbor was to Japan in WW2--a stunning tactical victory that ends in a catastrophic strategic defeat.

Given how many members of Hezbollah are permanently injured and disfigured by the pager attack, I think that the organization's operational capacity is already permanently degraded. They are going to have to use couriers to organize complicated attack plans. Rocket attacks require able bodied men to move materials, set up, and launch. Hundreds of Hezbollah members have permanent eye damage/blinded by the pager explosions. They will be utterly useless moving forward.

They were emasculated.

Think about where men carry pagers (front pocket of their pants).

What the f is wrong with you. You people are sick. You are so fixated on sexual assault and mutilating genitals of Palestinians. Why does this get you so excited?

Hezbollah has ballistic and supersonic missiles that Iron Dome will not work against. Israel is over committed in Gaza and Hamas is stronger today vs before Oct 7. Israel will have to go to full mobilization and the ultra orthodox is refusing to fight. Israel is so f’ed.

This pager sabotage operation actually saved many thousands of civilian lives on both side of the border.

Further, it needs to be reiterated that Hezbollah just killed 12 Druze children playing soccer on a playground in northern Israel just last month with their rockets.

Yes, war sucks.

Hezbollah has said multiple times they will stop the rocket attacks if there is a ceasefire in Gaza.

Israel has killed over 150 civilians in Lebanon in the past 11 months. That is civilians, not Hezbollah.

That number includes a journalist for Reuters, paramedics, and many children.

I don't think the life of an Israeli kid is worth more than a Druze kid or a Lebanese kid or a Palestinian kid.

The best way to stop the Lebanon and Israel war is to get a ceasefire in Gaza. Which Netanyahu and his cronies don't want.

Let's at least be honest about recent history--the first rocket attack from Hezbollah after October 7th came on October 8th. Israel hadn't even finished assessing the damage from the day before, let alone begun their movement into Gaza at that point. So while I absolutely support a ceasefire, I also will not give Hezbollah some kind of pass for being anything other than a terrorist organization that saw October 7th as the excuse they needed to attack Israel as soon and as often as they could.

Ah yes, history started on October 7th, please ignore every Israel attack against Lebanon (and the West bank, and Syria, and Iran) before then.

Let's also ignore 1947-48, when Arabs and Palestinians launched a war to annihilate Israel on the very day it was created.

That act of violence is the original sin that has given rise to everything since.

Competes with Hitler's invasion of Russia for the most idiotic move of the 20th century.

There is no solid evidence Israel was behind this situation.

Thank you for reminding us of your position for the 47th time. It's adding a great deal of substance to the discussion.

If you are too dumb to accept BBC as a legitimate news source, then sorry:

Hezbollah aren't Palestinians. They are mostly Shi'a from the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon. Most Lebanese despise Hezbollah for the instability and factionalism they've brought to the country.
