According to Reserve Major General Yaakov Amidror, the former Security Advisor and head of the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate's Research Department, "Israel" is not even close to destroying Hezbollah's capabilities.

Amidror explained to Israeli Channel 14 that Hezbollah has about 100,000 rockets, and "if we hit 30,000, they still have 70,000, which is seven times what Hamas had." Therefore, he asserted that Tel Aviv is "very far from defeating or stripping Hezbollah of its capabilities."

In this context, Israeli media reported that Hezbollah "is capable of striking Tel Aviv and paralyzing Israeli airspace and power stations, as well as Air Force bases, despite military operations."

The Israeli media added that "the targets will eventually run out, and a war of attrition will begin; we know this from the past."

I hope they do just that.

Difficult when Israel has nukes. A war of attrition to cripple the Israeli economy is more likely to lead to the downfall of Israel. Those dual nationality passports won't encourage Israelis to stay for long.

I wonder if Netanyahu's position is tenuous enough that assassinations of key political allies might lead to his outster and arrest, and then to overall destabilization. Maybe they're just too well protected or too numerous.
