IDF Invades Southern Lebanon, Looking To Destroy Hezbollah

Unlike with Gaza, the Lebanese people are getting out of the way instead of acting as human shields for Hezbollah, as they are not fans of the terrorist organization

IDF invasion of southern Lebanon meets no Hezbollah resistance

The IDF’s invasion into southern Lebanon which started Monday night just before 10:00 p.m. has met almost no resistance from Hezbollah, with not a single IDF soldier killed so far.

The invasion is expected to end within weeks, and in some ways is viewed as a broadening of a large number of very short nightly special forces missions into southern Lebanon which have been going on for an extended period.

IDF sources explained that the heavy bombing campaign over the last two weeks, the massive tank and artillery fire just before entering, and months of wearing down Hezbollah’s forces seem to have moved them out of the area or into hiding.

Unlike in the 2006 Second Lebanon War, the IDF said that Hezbollah’s top and medium level command levels have been eliminated in substantial numbers, leaving a massive strategic vacuum.

Yup, when you kill the leadership it’s tough for the foot soldiers to coordinate and fight back, especially when Israel created the conditions where they do not want to use cell phones, pagers, and walkie talkies, after blowing up the latter two.

To date, the mission is narrow and involves an invasion only within southern Lebanon and only to destroy Hezbollah’s infrastructure in the area, such as to eliminate its weapons, which have been stored to be ready to invade Israel.

Israel knows that they will not completely destroy Hezbollah and their terrorist arms, especially when Iran supplies them, but, they can radically reduce the potential for things like rocket attacks, and, this allows the Lebanese government a chance to gain a foothold and control the area of southern Lebanon.

CNN seems upset

A humiliating pattern for the US on repeat
The pattern of American impotency and Israeli defiance has played repeatedly since the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel that killed about 1,200 people, which prompted the Israeli pounding of Gaza and the more recent attempt to destroy Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Netanyahu often acts first and consults the US later, even when his actions are certain to buckle American diplomatic efforts and compound fears the US will get dragged into a disastrous regional war. The US was not informed in advance, for example, about the Israeli airstrike Friday that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah even though its global shockwaves were bound to be severe.

This Israeli approach has often made the Biden administration appear a spectator rather than an active player in events, as should befit a superpower. Months of grueling shuttle diplomacy by Secretary of State Antony Blinken have mostly drawn a blank. And the US has incessantly pushed for a Gaza ceasefire that neither Netanyahu nor Hamas seems to want.

The thing is, this is not a humiliating pattern for the US. Most of us support Israel killing terrorists and destroying their bases and operations and weapons. And we understand exactly why Israel is blowing of the Biden-Harris regime: Israel has no interest in going soft anymore. They’ve had enough. Further, Israel cannot trust the Biden-Harris regime with their secret plans, not with so many Jew and Israel haters in the administration.

    Ho hum… more war in the middle east…

    The US threatens “severe consequences” if Iran attacks Israel.

    The Iranian despots should “man up” and fight directly rather than using surrogates in Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen.

    Let ’em fight it out. The rest of the world is tired.
