โœ Everyone's talking about war in Lebanon but I'm not sure how genuine that is.

I'm failing to actually formulate a scenario where Israel actually thinks an invasion of south Lebanon is going to be better than the current situation in its worse image.

I'd be quite surprised if Israel actually invades Lebanon, and would even place a bet on that if betting was permissible in Islam.

Under the current circumstances, Israel is getting free reign to assassinate anyone in south Lebanon no matter how senior, attack any infrastructure, let that be military or civilian, and degrade what they can degrade in terms of experienced manpower and systems.

During this, they are ensuring a campaign with minimal human loss, and where failure can be masked with a fake image of success. Its like a poker game, but the loser can walk out saying I won with bags of monopoly money.

So under such, why would you think Israel is willing to lose hundreds of soldiers and dozens of settlers in a limited ground incursion into south Lebanon?

An incursion that can only happen after a 1-3 weeks of intense air attacks that will be retaliated with intense rocket and missile attacks towards Haifai, Safad, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and so on.

Hezbullah's rocket units are barely operational now. What Gaza did on 7-October in terms of firepower, Hezbullah is able to sustain for weeks at least.

That while they move the bulk of their forces to northern Israel and keep their limited forces sandwiched between Hamas fighters in Gaza.

Yes I understand Israelis are delusional f*cks, with a victim mentality and a martyr complex who make the situation look worse. Its true Hezbullah had lots of success on the front, but the damage Israel caused is not simple and quite important.

As of now, I cannot imagine the worse scenario being other than a air campaign around south Lebanon and maybe Beirut, retaliated with a strong rocket response by Lebanon and concluded by ceasefire negotiations.

But I do think there is still a possibility of a land incursion under the following scenario:
- With Israel not planning to leave Gaza after the war, and/or the failure to reach a ceasefire the battle in Gaza might feel like a new cold war. One similar to Syria's Idlib front.

Will Hezbullah treat this as an ongoing war and stipulate that it needs to continue the Lebanese front active to support Gaza? Or will there be no need as the Israeli army efforts dwindled and no longer mount to a full scale war.

If the battle here continues and a cold war looms over Gaza, the Israeli army could possibly treat Gaza as a secondary front and direct reserve and police special forces there and move regular and elite soldiers to a front with Lebanon.

That front under the pretext of bringing calm to the north and establishing calm in south. We can only wait and see.

All id like to say, especially with the hardship of losing friends and family in any upcoming war, is that may they shed plenty of blood before their blood is shed on the sacred lands of south Lebanon and the Galilee.

โœ The enclave Israeli homefront has not been exposed to any real danger since 1948 and even until today, as in the settlers of Greater Tel Aviv and other big cities have never tasted what the settlers of the Gaza Strip border nor the residents of the north have ever tasted.

Yes, some dangers occurred, such as suicide operations at the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, and the panic from 7-Oct, and the Iranian attack.

But deep inside, they feel safe, and the most arrogant and war-loving who have been calling for a war on Lebanon and think it is a game that will result in a few sirens and some disruption of their everyday life.

What they don't understand is that their fate will turn into the fate of the residents of Sderot and Kiryat Shmona. They will be treated the same and share their lifestyle.

When the sky reveals the fall of missiles as big as minarets, Israel will know the meaning of fear, panic, horror and death.

โœ Today is just a reminder how overdramatic and victim-mentality Israelis are.

A recon drone shot down over an area some 25 km from the border is a major incident, forgetting how Israel carried a drone strike in Sidon province yesterday and an assassination 40-50 km from the border.

Or a series of attack just few days ago that were outside the current frontline borders, causing extensive damages in Lebanon. Calm down you clowns.
