    One day after Hamas’ October 7th attacks, the islamic terrorist organization Hezbollah opened fire on Israel’s northern border. Israeli forces retaliated with artillery fire, airstrikes and machine gun fire. Since then attacks along the northern border between Israel and Lebanon are now a daily occurrence Except… despite all this something surprising has happened. The fighting hasn’t bled into a larger regional war.
    But there’s a ticking clock on this limited warfare because NGO’s estimate 100,000 Israeli civilians and 76,000 Lebanese civilians have been displaced by the fighting and are still living in limbo. The situation is unsustainable raising questions about what will happen a first, will a peace agreement be reached or all out warfare will be launched.

    That conflict has much wider implications than the usual Middle Eastern ones.

    It's fascinating just how different the two conflicts between Hamas and Hezbollah are. Hamas acts as they are motivated largely by their ideology, with with no real obligations to fulfilling the interests of it's own citizens. While Hezbollah, are far more calculating and pragmatic in their conflicts. This goes to show that what might apply in one conflict between Israel might not apply for another.

      That's a load of bollocks. Hezbollah primarily floats on a pool of drug trafficking (mainly taxing it) run exclusively by Palestinians because the Lebanese don't exactly like their occupiers and refuse to let Palestinians work for them.
      This ensures a steady supply of cheap dumb manpower for Hezbollah that'll do whatever you want for a few bucks.
      Religion is a nice coathanger to put it all on, but at the core it's just about money. If the Lebanese and Palestinians refuse to take drugs starting tomorrow, Hezbollah is broke before 2025.

It doesn't affect the lives of each side's supporter so they can casually say whatever they want. while both sides, the PALESTINIAN people, not hamas or hexbollah, and the ISRAELI people, mostly just want peace.

    Great video, just need to correct a few things as a person who lives in Nabatieh (south Lebanon)
    1) Nabatieh is a city and not a village, it is the capital of the Nabatieh governorate
    2) The strike on Nabatieh was from a drone that fired 2 shots, one on the ground floor that killed Abbas al Dibis and 2 other Hezbollah fighters and one on the first floor that killed a family of 7, including 3 children as well as 4 syrian refugees.
    3) The situation has been in fact escalating here, as Nabatieh governorate was targeted multiple times last week which had not happened the prior 4 months (since we are roughly 20km from the border) and yesterday Ghazieh was targeted (a city near Saida, much deeper than Nabatieh, roughly 40km from the border) in which they destroyed a steel factory and a generator factory, which the IDF claims that it is 2 Hezbollah missile warehouses
    4) HZB has annouced so far that 205 of its soldiers died in the clashes

As Cappy points out: The "Revolutionary Islamic Republic of Iran uses Shia Islam as cultural connective tissue between themselves and Shia based militant groups in the region. The majority of Palestinians are Shia muslims. Hamas is a Shia based militant group." Why is this religion so hell bent on extremist control and taking away basic liberties?

      Israel will not accept UN forces anywhere. Remember, there are currently 10,000 UN forces in Lebanon whose mandate is to ensure the Lebanese government has control over southern Lebanon so they can keep the peace. They are also there to keep Hezbolah away from the border. They have done nothing and in the intervening time since 2005, Hezbolah has, like Hamas in Gaza, only used the time to build up their offensive capabilities.

      You talk about Hatira lemaga which shows the bravery of IDF soldiers unlike their enemies who running and abandon their friends on the battlefield,which Israel will never do to their soldiers.
      In the six days war Israel didn’t attack first they only took huge advantage to ruin the Egypt airforce.
      Israel start to attack only after Egypt kick UN forces from Sinai and sending a lot Egypt units close to Israel border, they also blocked the shipping to Israel
      Iraq forces going inside Jordan to the border with Israel which is clearly sign of war,like always Israel defending herself,stop saying BS about Hatira Lemaga which shows the bravery of IDF soldiers.

    Chris, I don't disagree with your assessment. I think it's pretty spot-on. I've been running around Northern Israel for the past 4 days. There's a whole sense of calm here that I have not seen in Prior conflicts. The one thing that resonates amongst Israelis, is the return of the hostages. Protests here in Tel Aviv and people lining the roads in the north, all reflect the return of the hostages. The return of the hostages is more important than anything else at this point in time. although that can't be construed as Israel being weak. At the military base I was allowed to go to, every one of the troopers is committed getting back to hostages and some sort of diplomatic solution. It's clear, they think they have seriously hurt Hamas, but not killed it yet.

    • @nopenahman7380
      @nopenahman7380 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Ah, well, let me explain.
      First, they scored a major morale hit against the Israelis. No amount of bluster conceals that from knowing eyes, and some of us gentiles are still wielding such.
      Second, rather than continue the status quo - gradual dispossession via Israeli settlement colonization and gradual genocide via Israeli military operations - the attack forces Israel to show its true face, and the face it showed was not one that its allies are particularly fond of: a literally-religiously-supremacist genocidal regime, killing more civilians in the span of months than the Russo-Ukraine conflict did in nearly a decade, and calling for the total eradication of the Palestinian people from their ancestral lands. As an American, I can tell you without hesitation: I have never found Israel more detestable. Big win for Hamas there.
      Third, they drew Israel into a military conflict which, because of its nature and context, has a continually-increasing potential to see expansion across the region, which at present is not to Israel's interests, as there is another major war theater in play drawing resources away from Israel in the context of its most active international supporters. IOW: Israel is now in a war-footing, but the slave-states of the West which Israel typically obtains 'aid' (ie fealty) from are actively engaged in another war theater on their doorstep; which (bemusingly) almost-certainly originates in Russian interference in Israeli operations in Syria in 2013 lol
      Fourth, they have stirred this up at a time when there is a major US political election, and this creates an issue for various nominally-left-wing Zionist elements in that, should the right-wing figure in the American election win, he will undoubtedly support Israel to the hilt, and, because he is SO hated by the American liberal population, there is very real concern that their disdain for him will expand to encompass Israel/Zionism to an even-greater extent than is already the case and make it very, very difficult for American left-wing assets to support Israel while the right-wing candidate's support hangs as an albatross round their proverbial neck. IOW: If Trump wins he will support Israel, and because left-wing Americans hate Trump so much, they will hate Israel by extension if he jumps in to back them during what turns out to be an expanded military operation with massive media observation.
      To review...
      Hamas undermined Israeli morale/augmented Arab morale, undermined the status quo of gradual dispossession/genocide, drew Israel into a military conflict during a time when that is disadvantageous to them due to foreign logistic limitations, created a hazard for left-wing Zionist interests in the US/West... All things considered, pretty noice.

    We have to decide what comes first, alliance or fairness. There's an ethical debt to choosing the first. The selective treatment is painful. It's as if the Palestinian suffering doesn't even touch the Is**eli allies. At 3:30 it's mentioned that "its hard to imagine being ripped from your life for four months". I can just think of the Palestinian children, whose suffering dwarves anything on the other side for 75 years. Anyone interested in the ethical justification of this should look up videos by Miko Peled, who's father fought in 1947, was a celebrated general of the 1967 war and grandfather Avraham Katsnelson, signed Israel's Declaration of Independence. Miko's father, the Major General, realized that they were the oppressors and Miko continues speaking out.

    I see a lot of arguments over whether or not this is a quality source of information. I'll say this: there is no perfect source of information, and a source that clearly states its defining values and biases thereof allows for better understanding of _how various sources arrive at various conclusions_ - it's dangerous to assume any individual, especially a non-expert like your average infantryman, to have perfect understanding of any system.
    If you do find that person though, lemme know - they've probably figured out how to break entropy.

      Lebanon is made up of 3 factions. The Shias, the Sunnis, and the Christian Maronites. The Christians are no position to wage war since most of the young ones are immigrating to the West by using their Christian card. The Shias have Hezbollah who are very powerful given the fact that they are able to go up against Israel. The Sunni's original backers were the GCC countries but those guys have lost the will to fight after taking a number of Ls against the Shias militias baked by Iran and the on top of that many of their own militias were getting closer to the Muslim Brotherhood which is an existential threat to the monarchies. So the Sunnis don't have anyone to provide arms to fight to they are also out of the picture.
      Overall, there is not going to be a civil war in Lebanon.

      Wrong, not lots, only the people that are known to blame Hezbollah for anything based on nothing but hersey, the same people that have lied about basically anything, including faking a kidnapping attempt and glueing it to the ass of Hezbollah. There is no proof that the ammonium belonged to Hezbollah, you have proof, provide it, otherwise you are just another person trying to glue anything to Hezbollah without evidence, everything being claimed as evidence right now, has been nothing but normal people throwing speculations and heresy's as facts. They are repeating the same thing with rafic hariri assassination, nothing has changed, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
      Moreover, It was not munitions, it was ammonium nitrate in its raw form that looks like salt, which is also used for breaking large rocks in Quarries, and in Lebanon, there is a very huge booming Query business that has been eating huge hills and ruining the scenery. Additionally, there is a very important information that most of you in their blind enthusiasm to exploit a yet another thing to glue to Hezbollah seem to be ignoring, these ammonium nitrate might also be for the Syrian Rebels to make makeshift bombs and rockets, because we know for a fact that a group of Western/Gulf aligned Lebanese political parties were smuggling guns and explosive materials to the rebels in Syria, we also know for a fact that the Lebanese army has discovered and raided several weapon depot for Jihadi groups in Lebanon with links to the Syrian rebels and some political parties in Lebanon that would you guess what they had in large quantities, makeshift bombs in very huge numbers, and make shift rockets.
      Nope, attempts were made in the past to drag Hezbollah to start a civil war, which saw western/gulf aligned groups kill Lebanese civilians, but attempts failed because they could drag Hezbollah, and Hezbollah is aware that some do want to drag them to a civil war.

    Excellent summary overall.
    Couple of points, though:
    Scott Ritter puts Hezbollah's missile/drone, etc. arsenal at around 200,000, not 150,000.
    Degree of control/influence Iran has over Hamas is not as great as he makes it sound.
    Fails to mention how the sheer numbers of Hez missiles could eventually overwhelm Israel's
    AD - this is especially relevant if they can degrade Israeli air force capabilities by denying or limiting
    the use of their air bases.
    He does mention the possibility of ports being shut down, but only in terms of the effect on trade. But if all the ports are shut down (and air cargo disrupted) only a single land route would remain for imports - under the control of the Saudis and Jordan...
    Keep hearing about how the Israelis are going to invade S. Lebanon again (like it worked out so well the last couple times). Maybe they will. But if so, as my Dad would have put it, 'They had better take their lunch'.
