🇮🇱/🇱🇧 BREAKING: 'Earlier this week, Hezbollah launched a series of suicide drones at Israel's Karish gas platform in the Mediterranean Sea, attempting to destroy it; the drones were intercepted, and Israel attacked Hezbollah targets deep inside Lebanon in…
🇱🇧 Another thought just came to mind —>

If it's really true that Hezbollah sent suicide drones at Karish gasfield (with the aim of destroying it), surely they know that this would've provoked a full scale war, or at the very least a significant escalation.

So, there are two options:
1. Hezbollah knows the repercussions and is actively trying to escalate with Israel, perhaps even to a full scale war - or
2. It didn't happen, and it's an Israeli psyop.

Or an alternative option (more unlikely): Hezbollah thinks Israel is bluffing regarding their appetite for a war, and thinks it could actually target vital infrastructure like gasfields without provoking such a war.

Now, nobody really knows Hezbollah's plan at this point, but it would be a very bold move if the story turns out to be true.

🇮🇱/🇮🇶 BREAKING: The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has targeted Israel's 'Karish' gas platform in the Mediterranean Sea - Al Jazeera @Middle_East_Spectator
— So, it seems that this is related to the event reported yesterday, when Israel claimed that Hezbollah had fired suicide drones at Karish.

It turns out it was the Iraqi Resistance. Israel probably misidentified the drones as coming from Lebanon.
