Playing “operation” has to be one of the all time great observations of this crisis.

There seems to me to be no alternative but for Israel to fight on all of its fronts at the same time and that both in Lebanon and in Iran there is now a need to show that we will not be cowed by their semi-random behaviour nor by Trump's meddling and lack of understanding. However we do need support from our alley, the US.

U r assuming that the best strategy is firing away and bombs away now and planning a strategy later.

Well thats not the way war works-look at Vietnam . Ww2 was won after methodically planning a european invasion over several years to Churchills and Stalins chagrin and island hopping in the pacific to McCarther's eternal credit- but it worked. The only way to stop hzbollah is to occupy S. Lebanon and methodically root 'm out and pay a huge price which I doubt we want to or could. Second best is a stout defense and endless ceasefires ( which is better than endless wars) and certainly better than tit for tat which is worthless,& counter productive unless u think appeasing ben gvir and smothrich at the expense of expending lives & treasure is a good deal.

That's how YANO seem it.

This is not VietNam nor does the IDF deliberately cause so many civilians to die due to the need to kill the enemy.

And also keeping our connection with the USA strong so we could pay for all this😀😃😄
