The blow must be very painful: when Israel decides to respond to Hezbollah for its terrorist act

Perhaps Hezbollah tried to shell the military base on the mountaintop, but missed. The result of the shelling shows that they did not want to, because the terrorists accuse Israel of “shelling itself.” Despite all this, they are responsible for this shelling, as well as for all the others, he is sure.

Israel's response to this shelling will definitely be. However, it is not yet known whether it will go to a big war here and now, or whether the strike will be limited. Perhaps Israel will subsequently decide to deepen the conflict.

“If not, this will be its big strategic mistake. However, Israel does not have time to wait, and the escalation will happen in any case and very soon,” the military observer emphasized.

Does Israel have enough resources

At the same time, despite the skepticism of experts, Israel has enough resources to open a third front, because for many years the country has been preparing for a confrontation with its enemies.

However, according to him, if there was an overspend on ammunition during the war in Gaza, then now they may not enough for Israel to confront Hezbollah.

However, the basic planning of military operations provided for the fact that there would be an emergency reserve of ammunition for the war with Hezbollah. If it did not remain, it could be regarded as a failure of those who plan military operations. But there is reason to believe that this is not the case, – noted David Sharp.

He added that if Israel is ready for war now, we will see corresponding actions. If it wants to avoid it, then the strike will be limited – mainly air strike.

“However, this strike should be very painful for Hezbollah. If not, then it will look very bad. And in the Middle East, you can't look like that – it's a sign of weakness and an incentive for enemies to begin active actions against Israel,” the military observer noted.
