Israel: State of a Nation
In a recent discussion with Eylon Levy, IDF Major (res.) Doron Spielman shared insights into Hezbollah's reaction to Israeli Defense Forces' operations in southern Lebanon. According to Spielman, Hezbollah underestimated the likelihood of an Israeli ground operation, leading to a hasty retreat and the abandonment of significant material, including weapons, documents, and computers. This highlights a strategic miscalculation by Hezbollah regarding Israeli military intentions and capabilities, revealing potential weaknesses in their operational assumptions.
