Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Israel Prepares to Open a Second Front in the North For technical, social, and morale reasons, Israel will not win another war. At every level, it has become far weaker. It can inflict frightful damage on its enemies but it cannot change the fundamental balance of all forces that leads to victory. Gabriel Kolko, 2007 Towering brushfires raged across northern Israel on Tuesday following drone and rocket attacks by Hezbollah on Israeli settlements and military bases. The fires represent the latest escalation in the ongoing cross-border war that has persisted for the last 8 months. According to the Times of Israel, roughly 60,000 residents of towns and villages along Israels northern border have been displaced from their homes since October due to the near-daily cross-border rocket and anti-tank missile attacks by Hezbollah
The recent uptick in violence has prompted an angry response from Israels political leaders who are now threatening to invade Lebanon if the attacks dont stop immediately. This is from an article at CNN: On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the northern city of Kiryat Shmona near the Lebanese border, saying that Israel is prepared for very intense action in the north. Whoever thinks that they can hurt us and that we will sit idly by is making a big mistake, the prime minister said. One way or another, we will restore security to the north. Poster Comment: The Israeli soldiers suck at war with armed opposition. Hezbollah can burn Haifa to the ground as that is where the chemical plants are. And their soldiers can go as far south as the Galilee. Plus F-16s cannot take off if there is debris on the field. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
