West Point scholar John Spencer asserts that Israel has regained its deterrence.
Hezbollah
An intelligence member told me we are in one of the most sensitive phases in the history of the State of Israel.
In just one year, Israel has experienced its greatest failure and its greatest success.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine announced that three of its operatives were killed in an Israeli strike in Beirut – Israeli FM tells counterparts that only implementing U.N. Resolution 1701 will stop military action against Hezbollah.
The Israeli army officially announced the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Shabbat today. And this is being celebrated in Israel. We also toasted with a glass of wine at the Shabbat table. Le’Chaim!
Possible operations to remove Hezbollah positions in preparation for a limited ground incursion may be underway.
“Nasrallah was not just another terrorist, he was THE terrorist. He was the axis of the axes, the main engine of Iran’s axis of evil,” said the Israeli premier.
“The United States fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and any other Iranian-supported terrorist groups,” said the American president.
Israeli jets targeted Hezbollah’s underground headquarters in Beirut on Friday evening.
The attack reportedly targeted the head of Hezbollah’s drone unit.
