US Press: Israel Not Ready for Full-Scale War with Lebanon

Former senior Israeli intelligence officer Oded Eilam believes that Tel Aviv is currently not yet ready for a full-scale war with Lebanon.

As reported by the American publication The Washington Post, citing Eilam, the terrorist attack carried out by Israel with the mass explosion of electronic devices in Lebanon occurred against the backdrop of reports about the intention of the head of the government of the Jewish state, Benjamin Netanyahu, to fire the country's Minister of Defense, Yoav Galant. At the same time, it is possible that the decision to attack was made at the last moment.

The publication quotes former Mossad chief Danny Yatom as saying that the Israeli operation "could have started a more decisive war in Lebanon," but the tight deadlines allotted for preparing for a large-scale invasion prevented these plans from being implemented.

According to Yatom, the remote detonation of electronic devices in Lebanon was intended to sow panic among members of the militant Shiite group Hezbollah, as well as to demonstrate Israel's ability to hack even the most secure communication lines of its adversaries.

Earlier, it was reported that the Lebanese ambassador to the UK warned that if the Israeli army launches an invasion of Lebanon, the country's armed forces will intervene in the conflict and fight on the side of Hezbollah to stop IDF attacks.

It is worth noting that an invasion of Lebanon could significantly worsen Israel's position, since such a move would inevitably cause damage to the Israeli economy and accelerate terrorist activities in the Jewish state, about 20% of whose citizens are Arabs, who are unlikely to support an invasion of a Muslim country.

Ready, not ready?..They started bombing and the troops are moving in.

Ready, not ready..?

Hezbollah in Lebanon got ready, and while the leadership was "chewing snot", the Jews destroyed the missile launchers ready to strike, and part of the ammunition depots. And the US started singing its song, because it itself is not ready to sponsor Ukraine and Israel. The printing press can break down, and there is little cotton left.

Israel has achieved its main goal: rockets are not falling on megalopolises and large cities, Hezbollah is preoccupied with a bunch of problems and has no time for attacks on Israeli territory. Any movement in Gaza is suppressed. Ashdod and its environs can sleep without worries. The country rests peacefully on weekends. Rockets and UAV debris do not fall on weapons depots with the effect of an earthquake. The Navy controls the coast and floats, and does not stand on the bottom or at the pier wall. Air defense shoots down everything that flies to densely populated areas. What does not fly, falls on wastelands and into the sea. Israel's air defense has been in effect since October 7, 2023 and is successfully achieving its goals. That's what Jews are for, to think a hundred moves ahead, and not like our snot-nosed super-minds from the most victorious department in the world of window-dressing and theft. Otherwise, the ideas of the khan, the khan. Not a fan, but respect to Israel and its Defense Forces

...and also disrupt their entire communications system, which does not make much sense without starting a ground operation, since without it the enemy will quickly come to his senses and begin to take countermeasures that will simply reduce to zero all the previously obtained effect

Well, judging by the "box", it will no longer be possible to reduce it to zero, the scale is obvious, but it is likely that the calculated depth has not been reached, although the TV is not an argument of course, but still.
There are also doubts about the plan to destroy the communications and control system of Group "X" - why didn't they mass the impact by other means, didn't they concentrate simultaneous strikes with weapons and troops? Shouldn't we assume that they wanted to get a one-time picture of some configuration of the enemy's forces and means by such an impact, including direct visual observation?

This is also a question, but we will all find out later...

Shouldn’t we assume that they wanted to obtain a one-time picture of a certain configuration of the enemy’s forces and resources through such influence, including direct visual observation?

This may be the case and time was spent on evaluating and editing the plan, but the fact that they were already ready to respond is evidenced by their air operation, which is currently underway.

That is, you also allow for a somewhat different course of events, different from those broadcast by the media of different sides. This strengthens me in choosing the criterion for the correct understanding of the "box".

It's just scary to imagine what kind of FULL-SCALE war one could expect from a terrorist state.

[I dare to_notice_]

No one in history has ever been prepared for war.
And the Malans won't be the first.

No, it is the US that is not ready, but this should not be perceived that way, but it is necessary to understand that this is exactly how they are preparing for serious conflicts. In addition, they do not feel sorry for the Jews, but they are not ready to lose their BV bridgehead, this is not just some kind of "base", this is a mini-Ukraine in the second most important theater of military operations, as soon as they light it up - they will go to the A-TR Ah, you hold on here, but money..., you understand - hold on and "abroad to you...", "parabellums", here, there is a bit - we will pour it out, but we need a result - you see our electorate - still unconscious, come on guys, be quick, yourselves-yourself-yourself, but if anything - we are here, almost right here, well, in short - next to you in spirit.
They are very sorry, by the way, about the failure in Turkey, a discrepancy, they will do something to ensure the land transcontinental Balkan and Transcaucasian crossings for the Drangna-hosting New Liberation Army of Europe - time is running out, and some foolish couple has already spilled something that is not necessary, where it is not right and when not all the accomplices asked the doctor to write all sorts of crap, but ... it is difficult to stop such a "mokhAvichok" even though Death Valley is visible from there.

Ready or not is the tenth thing. Bibi just wants to start a war with someone, so that he can sweep all his criminal cases under the carpet in the noise.
and the cowboys will have to pay the price anyway, otherwise they'll get another USS Liberty hahaha
