Lebanese News and Updates
📸 This morning, an Israeli drone strike targeted a van in Qamatieh area near Aley. Locals released photos, revealing something that shouldn't have been publicity.
This incident highlights few details
- Why did Hezbullah have weapons in Beirut? To supply south Lebanon during the war when they need it or face shortages
- Why does Hezbullah pass through this area? Because this is the main highway connecting Beirut and other areas to south Lebanon
- Is Hezbullah at the wrong, moving on these roads? No, every army using normal highways and roads to transport things. This is the norm and this is acceptable.
Hezbullah would be wrong if they fire from civilian areas and between civilians, putting them in danger.
People attacking Hezbullah, claiming they are endangering them is unacceptable. These are discrete movements, and its on the Israeli army if it attacks and endangers civilians.
The IDF has killed 100+ civilian in their houses in the last 48 hours. No, the IDF isn't worried about killing you.
We are at war, we are fighting, why do you insist to continue to side with the enemy. Why do you want to participate in the blockade and be the reason we fail?
A few ATGMs might be the factor they win or lose a battle, that can change the tide of a war.
This unfortunately will never change, Lebanese will never change, no matter how many years and decades pass. There will be no unity, and only differenced and treachery.
Idk how to better explain it.

📹 From the demolitions in lower Duhayra town.
This small town which doesn't have any Hezbullah presence or infrastructure, was leveled. The attacks focused on demolishing infrastructure facing Israel.

📸 Today the Israeli army CoS Halevi held an assessment with the invasion officers, inside Israeli territory.
He discussed the urgent need to make the Israeli army bigger, both the regular and the reserves.
Halevi says he knows the hardships of the reserves who have been at wear for more then 200 days, and he is trying to find solutions
He stresses that recruiting the ultra Orthodox will help in that

So let's discuss something fast.
The discourse now is about the news how the IDF advanced in south Lebanon and Hezbullah's statement that the IDF didn't fully secure a full village yet. So what's what.
1- It is true the IDF advanced to the villages it wanted to work in, achieved their tactical successes in destroying military and civilian infrastructure
This was explicitly confirmed by Hezbullah and Al-Manar. No doubt in that, and no lies.
2- It is also true that the IDF did not operate in all of the geographical boundaries of these towns, and has only worked to reach their centers, demolish, and then retreat without clearing their northern boundaries and country side, effectively not exposing themselves to the second row of towns
This is the IDF's tactic to preserve their forces and their safety, and accomplish the limited goals they had, and they did.
But its important to understand that they didn't have more grand goals, because they knew their limitations

The IDF is aware it doesn't have enough resources for a major push to reach all of south Lebanon and they are aware strain is ongoing on the reserve forces.
These forces have been fighting non-stop for 1 year almost, and getting into another year will be devastating for both the army and the economy.
We keep seeing GoFundMe campaigns to help these soldiers, when their reserve service ends.
So it's now established that both events are true, both claims are true, each in its different understanding of things.
❓So what really contributed to the IDF advance?
- Concentration of massive force on small villages, using several brigades against few tens of soldiers from Hezbullah
These villages are small, scattered, and the IDF effectively overwhelmed the defense, and used air and ground assets perfectly

❓Why didn't Hezbullah last in those villages as long as they did in 2006?
There are factors here:
1- The IDF did not focus on single villages as much in 2006, and wanted to reach major cities fast, so they mounted limited unfocused battles to reach Bint Jbeil and etc
2- The IDF didn't expose its forces to danger, and didn't mount helicopter based attacks. No airdrops in Beqaa, no airdops in Tyre, no combat helicopter action.
These attacks would complicate the battlefield for the IDF, and the loses they faced caused IDF retreats and thus causing failures. The IDF was hesitant, they aren't now
3- Hezbullah did last longer than in 2006. The war in 2006 was one month, this war has been ongoing for 1.5 and the ground invasion was longer than the one in 2006 by twice the timeframe.

❓Why didn't Hezbullah perform better in these border villages?
Not as simple as you think, there are factors:
- These villages have been under daily attacks for 1 year
- These villages turned into kill zones for 1 year
- These villages are not cities, they are scattered houses
- These villages are all mostly at a geographical disadvantage, where IDF bases and settlements are overviewing these tows
Finally:
- Hezbullah was never expected to fully defend and forever secure these border villages.
It's a military task that is impossible and no army in the world can defend these areas forever facing what Hezbullah fought.
Advances were inevitable and Hezbullah made the IDF pay a price, with the means they had.
Now, could Hezbullah have prepared better? Could Hezbulah have performed better there?
- Without having actual details, and without the military people themselves giving an assessment, we cannot claim anything.
If you can do better, do it yourself
