With 150,000 precision-guided missiles embedded in Lebanon’s civilian population and able to target the whole of Israel, Hezbollah poses a vastly greater threat to Israel than Hamas.
The war in Gaza entered its 35th day this morning, November 10 – one day more than the 2006 Lebanon war, which at the time was described as a frustrating stalemate in which Israel found it difficult to vanquish the enemy, Hezbollah. The circumstances this time, in a war that is currently focused on Hamas, are harder.
Israel went into the war with a terrible deficit, as a result of a harrowing intelligence and preparedness failure on October 7. By the time the Israel Defense Forces recovered and started to fight back effectively, nearly 1,200 Israelis had already been killed and about 240 abducted in Hamas’ murderous terrorist onslaught. Since then, all that has been done, and will be done, is comparable to a desperate attempt to pursue a foe that has already turned on the burners and is speeding ahead.
