Dr. Yusri Khizran BESA, Dec. 10, 2023 “Hezbollah engaged in a Lebanese political-national discourse that ostensibly placed its military existence at the heart of the Lebanese national consensus. This was summed up in three words: people, army and resistance.” Hezbollah’s enduring enmity towards Israel reflects the ideological concepts on which it was founded. The […]
TOI Staff Times of Israel, Dec. 9, 2023 “The Americans have not set any deadline. … They understand that they can’t tell the IDF how long it needs to achieve the goals. They share the goals of returning the hostages — a campaign that a date cannot be set for — and of destroying Hamas. […]
Eric Mandel The Hill, Dec. 13, 2023 “There are 10,000 UN soldiers in southern Lebanon. They have not stopped the transfer of even one precision-guided missile to Hezbollah from Iran.

Hanan Greenwood Israel Hayom, Dec. 10, 2023 “Our encounters are mainly on the routes and mainly during the day because they’re afraid to come out at night. They’re firing RPGs from the alleyways or operating explosives and escaping. Dozens of missiles have been fired in our direction, but the vehicles are moving and most of […]
Keren Setton/The Media Line Jerusalem Post, Dec. 13, 2023 “The IDF method is to use massive airpower, then to encircle targeted areas, followed by increased incursions into territories as the hold over these territories gets stronger over time.” The clock is ticking on Israel’s military operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, as it is unclear […]
Colonel Richard Kemp The Telegraph, Dec. 11, 2023 “Wisely, the Israelis took little heed of American and British military experts that urged restraint, advising the IDF not to invade with armoured divisions but instead rely on special forces raids as they themselves had done in Iraq and Afghanistan. That didn’t work there and it wouldn’t […]
