A day nothing happened, then suddenly the death of Hezbullah's Ridwan leader and commanders, who were the ones who will lead Hezbullah's war against Israel in both offense and defense.

They are the leaders of who should have been today managing this war and leading through their experience and knowledge the formations of fighters to defend Lebanon.

It was catastrophic. It was the knife they gutted out Hezbullah's spine.

Killing Foad, gutted out their heart. Ridwan's Akeel and the leadership their spine.

Then came the murder of Sayyed Hassan. And then and there they decapitated Hezbullah.

Then targeted the resistance's rocket and missile formations, cutting their arms and ability to lead the formations.

You need leaders to lead, you need knowledge and experience. What happened to Hezbullah, I swear in my life, is enough to collapse empired and countries.

Between this and that, Israel mounted a very successful air campaign that targeted Hezbullah's facilities, ceiling off tunnel entrances that are visible form the air, targeting whole valleys where Hezbullah operates from and damaging infrastructure as a byproduct. Then they attacked the local areas inside villages where Hezbullah stores what it needs for defense, etc..

It was accurate intelligence based, and that's why it had much more impact on Hezbullah than in 2006. Much more.

Of course they killed many innocent, they are murderous bastards and attacked everything indiscriminately too that day.

These events all made Hezbullah enter into a shock, because they lost their most important leader in their history, create internal fear and chaos, and denied Hezbullah many of its abilities and resources.

No matter how and what Hezbullah could have prepared for Israel, the intelligence leaks and spies were able to severely damage Hezbullah.

What they had prepared for Israel is not what you see today, not at all.

So curse curse curse, in everyone and thing that led to this weakness and inability.

15- Why didn't Hezbullah start the war when Israel attacked Akeel and the Ridwan leadership

I do wonder why. It was the second major attack in Beirut, and the second mass casualty attack that killed many civilians.

Hezbullah had the every legitimate case to attack Tel Aviv that day, and by that they could have used their strategic weapons before the losses, before the Israeli attacks on Hezbullah's facilities

However I think the reason was simply shock. They were shocked from what happened and couldn't act. I'm not exaggerating because Skeikh Naim Qassem himself said so in the future of Akeel and said they were shocked because they are humans but they overcame this shook a few days later. However a few days too late.

Situation was intense, Sayyed Hasan was killed before he could even mourn him and talk to him on TV and tell us what a great and bright intellectual he was.

Akeel was a unique man, a prodigy. The situation escalated out of control of Hezbullah

16 - Is Hezbullah well?

I don't know. I pray they are. We are too far to know and no one to ask. In war, Sayyed Hassan was the one who could have comforted us. He isn't here.

Unfortunately the speech by Sheikh Naim wasn't a good sign either. He's alive hamdella but in no way projecting comfort or power.

He was weak, sweating, sitting with a closet behind him and shaky.

Remaining of Hezbullah's historic military and political leadership is either killed or still trying to manage staying alive and by that staying out of contact

As for military action, I'll abstain from commenting. Too early. However we see clear sings of gaps and issues but thankfully they are still well enough in south Lebanon

Between the rocket launchers daily, the fast reporting of the attacks, and casualties in the ranks of the Israeli army, and the lack of collapse.

Inshallah they are well. However yes it bugs me, the lack of attempts to shoot down drones, the lack of Almas use against the invading Israeli army soldiers, the lack of ATGM attacks

Those are the joker cards, especially the Almas vs soldiers a tanks everywhere now.

17- Will we win?

I don't know. I hope, I pray and it worries me. It's a miracle Hezbullah didn't collapse yet and the work they are doing now in south Lebanon is inshallah a good sign and healthy local abilities.

Inshallah it'll only grow better and better and have the ability to mount enough casualties to make the Israeli invasion so bloody.

Bloody enough the stay in south Lebanon is bad and they are forced into a ceasefire.

We cannot afford to lose or else Lebanon will collapse and the whole Shia population will face persecution as bad as the ones Shia faced during Ummayid and Abbasid rule

I'm sad about the ones who were killed before they could fight, I'm sad about those who fought bravely and were killed, I feel sad about every single life lost.

These men, they are beautiful pure hearted, great men, amazing people. They are family, friends, husbands, fathers, they are angels

All aside, they are doing a selfless sacrifice and they are capable of defeating this Israeli enemy. They are able to achieve what we expect from them and what they expect to achieve

They will overcome, they will be able. All it needs is strong faith, patience, a strong heart and internal fire that will motivate to work and avenge Lebanon

I hope so. I want to see tangible results. I as a Lebanese as a Shia as a supporter. I want comfort.

18- Where did Hezbullah fail? When does Hezbullah fail?

They didn't fail yet. They won't fail inshallah. The only mistake they could do is lose, and inshallah they will not lose

19- What happens if they lose? What is the bad scenario

If Hezbullah lose we all lose, and losing can happen if Israel ever defeats Hezbullah and successfully reaches provincial cities like Tyre and Nabatieh and reaches the Litani river. Following this, there will be a push beyond the river and then a push to Beirut is possible.

However it really doesn't matter. If they lose and if Hezbullah is defeated, the resistance against Israel will not stop and like 1982 and 1985 they will be pushed back and they will be hit and hit till they conceed to a ceasefire or withdrawal

That I feel comfort in. Lebanese southerns will never accept this snd Israel will never belong here. This is the extreme scenario of course.

20- Who is responsible for the destruction in Lebanon?

Israel. They are responsible for the death, the destruction, everything. They are responsible for this escalation. Blame them.

They killed, they destroyed, they did everything bad. Understand this and make sure they people understand this.

Make sure people build hate to Israel and accuse them of everything and not this resistance who works for you and is from you and cares about you.

(My lastest answers are now brief because I'm tired. I'll continue this thread tomorrow if you have more equations I didn't tackle ask so I can cover.

I'll tackle questions about why doesn't Hezbullah make shelters and bunkers for people. Why does hezbullau store weapons where it does. Those controversial things)

Excuse the spelling mistakes, to tired to reread

❗️After an attack on Kayfoun that murdered 6, a new Israeli attack now in Qamatieh in Aley province.
📸 The attack on Qamatieh murdered 6, including 3 children.

The attacks are unfortunately after incitement by some accusing this Shia neighborhood in that area of hosting Hezbullah weapons or commanders. It isn't

The blood of these people is in the hands of those inciting during war time, some like Maurice from the Lebanese Forces Party who provided false accusations about Qamatieh and Souk al-Ghareb.

Two areas where countless refugees are staying. His and his likes incitement will not only put the lives of locals and refugees at risk, it will make the refugee a risk for those hosting them and force a new exodus to the streets just before winter

❗️ The Israeli army hacked the Lebanese channel Al-Mayadeen and is posting Anti-Lebanon and anti-Iran propaganda

They captioned it with sectarian talk against Shia Muslims, saying the following:

فجروا وبغوا بإزالة إسرائيل فتزلزلوا
فلما جاء أمرنا جعلنا عاليها سافلها
كربلاء كربلاء يا حزب اللات الإرهابي
جئناكم بسيوف حديدية
فإن حزب الله هم الخاسرون
مهدور دمهم، فرصة عمر! قاتلوهم وسارعوا في إنهاء الحرب

The battle on Al-Mayadeen telegram is still ongoing. It seems they took control of the channel owner or an admin, and they are unable to remove him.

❗️The Israeli terror army released a new set of villages in south Lebanon to completely depopulate and force its people to move to north al-Awali river.

Focus now on Tyre province and lower south Lebanon

Yes you heard it clear, north of Sidon and not even north of Al-Litani. The Israeli army aims to operate up to Sidon.

They want to make all south Lebanon killzones, and kill every military aged man. They had these orders in Gaza, it is documented. Same terror playbook here.
