The military expert, Brigadier Elias Hanna, said that the information revealed by the Israeli channel 12 concerning the capacity of the Lebanese Hezbollah to reach the city of Haifa if it was involved in the attack of October 7, 2023, is considered logical given the danger that the party represents at that time.
According to Hanna – in an analysis of the island – Israel has put Hezbollah at the top of the dangers since 2006, so that the former Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, revealed that he had asked for a strike before the war, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed him that the case required the approval of the United States.
Channel 12 had revealed in an investigation that the chief of staff resigned, Herzi Halevi, said that the party could have reached the city of Haifa if he had decided to engage in war on October 7, 2023, with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
Hanna described Hezbollah as the main center for the security interests of Israel, because he still thought that the danger would come from the Lebanon Front, which exposed it to a political, strategic and intelligent collapse when the attack came from the Gaza Strip.
In addition to the military failure and the intelligence he revealed in Israel, the deluge Al -Aqsa also revealed a major defect in the political system and its belief in terms of security, because the army failed to thwart the attack even after the hours of its event, explains Hanna.
A new security doctrine
Consequently, the change of the chief of staff and the managers of the teams and the work to create buffer zones by force in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza reflect that we are at the end of a new vision of security of the state of occupation, of the opinion of the military expert.
The Channel 12 report stressed that Netanyahu’s intelligence agent had been informed of Hamas preparations to attack before this happened, but he did not inform it of this, noting that the employees of the Gallent office tried to wake up the responsible intelligence agent at the time of the attack, but they could not do so.
The chain said Halevy expressed his surprise that this information was not published earlier and said that she would have helped the security establishment to face the serious criticisms it had been exposed.
Last Thursday, an investigation published by the Israeli army recognized the failure of the catastrophic army and information in the processing of the attack of October 7, 2023, which is the largest operation of the Palestinian resistance against Israel.
