Where Israel Shouldn't Strike When the Next War With Hezbollah Comes

David Daoud, UANI Research Analyst: "The Israeli political and defense establishment has stated its intention to destroy Hezbollah in any future war. However, the strategy that same establishment has adopted will certainly fail to achieve that objective. Convinced Hezbollah has usurped the Lebanese state, Israel's highest officials are threatening to target Lebanon's institutions, army, and civilian infrastructure in its next conflict with  the Shiite organization. Instead of crippling Hezbollah, this return to Israel's past failed strategies will backfire by allowing the group to survive and reemerge stronger. Instead, to decisively defeat Hezbollah, Israel should attack the organization in Syria. Lebanon and Hezbollah have long had a confluence of interests in repelling Israeli attacks on the country. This led every Lebanese president, both pro-Syrian and pro-Western prime ministers and all cabinets since 1989 to defend the group's military exploits against Israel, and the Lebanese Army to cooperate with it against the IDF's occupation of south Lebanon."
