The US Military wrote a very frank assessment of the 2006 Lebanon war, and it's remarkable how similar both conflicts are.
“The Resistance remained steadfast in its pledge and struggle for more than 13 months and was able to achieve victory against the delusional enemy, rendering it incapable of diminishing its determination or breaking its resolve," Hezbollah's 4,638th statement since 8 October 2023 reads.
Yeah, the tg channels I'm subscribed to churn out so much stuff that I just gave up being updated. The PFLP channel alone uploads multiple posts with like 6 paragraphs every day.
ceasefire deal had to account for the feelings of the northern isntraeli colonizers of course
maybe I'm missing it, but no-one seems to be mentioning last year's Thanksgiving ceasefire in their analysis of this one. it feels a lot like the same game plan to placate the foreign masses at the onset of the holidays. I'd bet good odds on bombs dropping again before x-mas under the pretense that Hezbollah has failed to uphold some pedantically ridiculous/impossible interpretation of terms
evidence reveals that Hezbollah members continued to live under the kindergartens in the territory that they were supposed to leave.
yeap, that didn't take long at all
Successful anti-air operations also brought down 6 Hermes 450 drones, 2 Hermes 900 drones, and a quadcopter.
They gotta get a proof reader
6 x "Hermes 450" drones
2 x "Hermes 900" drones
military bulldozers
wonder what they need that for
So what I'm hearing is that this ceasefire was agreed by the US, France, and the Lebanese Govt. rather than Hezbollah. It feels like a soft coup in Lebanon for everyone BUT the force actually the fighting Israel to end the fighting.
Hezb has no choice really. If they said no, the US would force UNIFIL to help the IDF by installing a puppet president. But by saying yes, they've been made to press pause on the Israeli civil war countdown.
I'm still skeptical if this helps or hinders anyone except Gazans, who are now under more pressure than ever.
