Military expert General Frieza Al-Duwairi said there is a state of uncertainty over whether Lebanese Hezbollah will use its missile capabilities in the current battle, an opinion to which Brigadier General Elias Hanna also agrees.
According to Al-Duwairi, the assassinations that targeted a series of military and political leaders of Hezbollah in the recent period, although they were not reflected in the action of the forces that confronted Israeli forces in the villages borders, “however, their effects”
Al-Duwairi explained that the Nasr Force was the most affected by the assassination of the leaders because it received information directly from them and then passed it on to the rest of the forces stationed in other areas, while the Radwan Force, responsible de he secures the borders, works on the basis of plans drawn up in advance for such clashes and therefore fights according to what has been agreed.
However, the loss of many leaders during the war somehow affects the forces fighting on the ground, which is evident in the fact that the party has not yet used specific missiles, explains Al- Duwairi.
Fight to the last breath
Al-Duwairi said that there has been fierce fighting on the border so far, but he believes that the important question now is related to the period during which these forces can resist, in light of the large differences in strength, noting that Israel’s strikes, which appear to be based on specific intelligence, on target force assembly centers or missile platforms affiliated with the party.
From a military perspective, Al-Duwairi stressed that the party’s forces are stationed in the highlands or in so-called tactical zones, which allows them to launch artillery attacks deep within Israel, and because they also give them the advantage of defending themselves in unconventional warfare. in which the defender attempts to control the field to compensate for power differences.
The military expert said that people believe in tangible capabilities to resolve battles, but at the same time he emphasized that belief in a specific cause, willingness to sacrifice and other intangible issues can resolve many wars.
He concluded that what Israel is doing reflects the acquisition of a large amount of intelligence information that it cannot collect alone, and he said that Hezbollah’s tunnels are currently the important card, which must remain a box black, as is the case with Hezbollah tunnels. Gaza Strip.
Chaos
Military expert Brigadier General Elias Hanna agreed with Al-Duwairi’s statement and said that the occupation forces are trying to control border areas such as Kafr Kila, Maroun al-Ras and Al-Adisa to prevent Hezbollah fighters from attacking Israel, emphasizing that the absence of leadership actually affects the forces to varying degrees.
Hanna said the forces on the border are experiencing a more complicated war due to the loss of communication with command and therefore, from his point of view, they are carrying out a prior order to fight to the last breath.
From an operational perspective, Hanna said the occupying army adopts the numerical standard to explain Hezbollah’s losses and show an image of victory, noting that this is an inaccurate standard that states -United States have already used it in several wars and ultimately lost.
Hanna concluded that the issue currently lies in the capacity and steadiness of the party’s forces fighting on the border, “because we don’t know whether or not the party has control over its missile force, even though it has achieved good results in recent days. “.
Regarding Israel’s intelligence capabilities, Hanna said that Tel Aviv’s membership in the US Central Command gave it access to intelligence information that the United States exchanges with all countries in the region, in addition to the fact as reports indicate they are preparing for battle with Hezbollah. for years and has therefore collected a large amount of information.
Hanna concluded by saying: “Today we are in a state of chaos and we do not know the fate of Hashem Safi al-Din, whom Israel says he killed, and we do not know who was with him when he was targeted,” adding: “At present, Beirut is completely separated from the forces fighting in the area adjacent to Israel, which have shown “good performance so far.”
