One day after Hamas’ October 7th attacks, the islamic terrorist organization Hezbollah opened fire on Israel’s northern border. Israeli forces retaliated with artillery fire, airstrikes and machine gun fire. Since then attacks along the northern border between Israel and Lebanon are now a daily occurrence Except… despite all this something surprising has happened. The fighting hasn’t bled into a larger regional war.
But there’s a ticking clock on this limited warfare because NGO’s estimate 100,000 Israeli civilians and 76,000 Lebanese civilians have been displaced by the fighting and are still living in limbo. The situation is unsustainable raising questions about what will happen a first, will a peace agreement be reached or all out warfare will be launched.

Here is a bit of information for you: All of the above noted terrorist organizations hate America and would love to harm Americans just like Al Quida did on September 11th, 2001, or just like Hezbollah did to over 240 American marines in Beirut in November 1983.

@@mahatmadutcheastcompany6726 The US or Israel had zero asppiration to occupy either side permanently and left when they wanted to. The Taliban was literally pulling security for the US while they left so they weren't chasing anyone.
And I'm sure you were espousing the same rhetoric before the Gaza invasion, but now bitching and moaning about Genocide. Israel will use the same tactics in Southern Lebanon where they'll just simply evacuate your shields, I mean civilians, and level your infrastructure and watch you surrender in droves.
Peace and prosperity to the people of this region
Sadly never gonna happen
As long as the state of Israel is lead by right wingers, there will never be peace there, because that is against their interests.
Imagine you're in the business of selling house alarms, or guns, but then suddenly all crime disappeared, you would run out of business. Well, Likhud etc. literally get elected on the promise of keeping Israel safe(lol, so much for that btw), so making sure the Israeli people always has a reason to be afraid is crucial. That is why Netanyahu has built Hamas and why they are constantly occupying and antagonizing their neighbours.
For the Israelis, sure.

That conflict has much wider implications than the usual Middle Eastern ones. Russia is Iran's key ally and thinks it will benefit from any kind of distractions from it's war of conquest against Ukraine and the wider West. It will happily pour fuel over any regional conflict in efforts to light them up. That is the one key driver for an escalation you missed I think, otherwise a very good video and thank you for that.
Tbh that is excatly the point. Guns dealer from the snowy east and defense contractor from shiny summer west need the conflict to keep their business run
Russia is not the only country adding fuel, the US and UK are as well.
nobody is really hoping for peace except the poor people whose homes are on the battleground. everyone else is seeking influence or profit.
I cant see why the US would be "adding fuel", Its not like they really want to support israel for further battles, they arent supplying israel for a war, more like for light support.

As an Iranian born, USA citizen, I want peace for my brothers and sisters in Palestine (Gaza west bank) and in Israel. We need to get along and not kill each other. Peace and love!
We all want that but it is a 2 way street.
If your neighbour kept attacking your home over years, you would be angry even if you practiced as much peace as possible. If your neighbour than ended up brutally killing your child, would you still let it slide without saying enough is enough, attacking the neighbour inside it to end the threat to the rest of your family for good? You can try to spare the innocent members of that house but what if that evil neighbour hides behind their family while attacking you? You let him kill you? You know if you let the neighbour go and die they will come after the rest of your family. What would you do? Would you take your chance in ending the threat with the hostage being harmed or killed as well?
Now you may call the cops, but what if you can't because you are the government/police responsible for your people (family).

@@albertbresca8904 If palestinians do not do that, Israel will do it for them and will cost them much more.
Yeah, normal people want peace. But then normal people adopt insane views of how a country should be ruled and become extremists. The extremists want to abuse power with their harsh laws, rights abuses and controlling ways. The regions dominant religion IS the problem. As Cappy points out: The "Revolutionary Islamic Republic of Iran uses Shia Islam as cultural connective tissue between themselves and Shia based militant groups in the region. The majority of Palestinians are Shia muslims. Hamas is a Shia based militant group." Why is this religion so hell bent on extremist control and taking away basic liberties?
@@opinionatedopiner Hamas is not shia and never was. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
Love these videos . presenter is learning and sharing as he goes along.
It's fascinating just how different the two conflicts between Hamas and Hezbollah are. Hamas acts as they are motivated largely by their ideology, with with no real obligations to fulfilling the interests of it's own citizens. While Hezbollah, are far more calculating and pragmatic in their conflicts. This goes to show that what might apply in one conflict between Israel might not apply for another.
Hezbollah is a less Ideological and more policy driven group but they are both at their core built on an ideological foundation of theocratic islam.
@@dominuslogik484
That's a load of bollocks. Hezbollah primarily floats on a pool of drug trafficking (mainly taxing it) run exclusively by Palestinians because the Lebanese don't exactly like their occupiers and refuse to let Palestinians work for them.
This ensures a steady supply of cheap dumb manpower for Hezbollah that'll do whatever you want for a few bucks.
Religion is a nice coathanger to put it all on, but at the core it's just about money. If the Lebanese and Palestinians refuse to take drugs starting tomorrow, Hezbollah is broke before 2025.
HMAS is not theoretical Islam their Sunnis which makes Iran hesitant about saving them
Their situations are not the same.

@@brandonporter550 but put a disclaimer that you're not well informed beforehand if you are that. There are far too many ignorant people spreading lies and half truths out of context. No need to add more idiocy to the discord.
I think faulty educational systems across the world result to people justifiying unjustifiable acts, from both Israel and it's surrounding groups, and are acting as if this is a football match cheering for one side, while sugarcoating it with "lives matter and the like", There won't be much of a difference if two football teams were absolutely hating for being known to be cheating or whatever, and this war. It doesn't affect the lives of each side's supporter so they can casually say whatever they want. while both sides, the PALESTINIAN people, not hamas or hexbollah, and the ISRAELI people, mostly just want peace.
It doesn't matter what side you take, what matters is the situation is absolutely fucked. That piece of land will always see war.
Sad but true.
That’s what I’m saying
No, there can be peace, but people (i am not talking about Israeli's or arabs) are too blind and others are not interested in it...

Great video, just need to correct a few things as a person who lives in Nabatieh (south Lebanon)
1) Nabatieh is a city and not a village, it is the capital of the Nabatieh governorate
2) The strike on Nabatieh was from a drone that fired 2 shots, one on the ground floor that killed Abbas al Dibis and 2 other Hezbollah fighters and one on the first floor that killed a family of 7, including 3 children as well as 4 syrian refugees.
3) The situation has been in fact escalating here, as Nabatieh governorate was targeted multiple times last week which had not happened the prior 4 months (since we are roughly 20km from the border) and yesterday Ghazieh was targeted (a city near Saida, much deeper than Nabatieh, roughly 40km from the border) in which they destroyed a steel factory and a generator factory, which the IDF claims that it is 2 Hezbollah missile warehouses
4) HZB has annouced so far that 205 of its soldiers died in the clashes
We are all on edge here and hope the situation does not escalate any further, but both the IDF and HZB have been increasing their threats in their recent speeches.
Thank you for the info from the ground. This random person on the internet is hoping you stay safe. Good luck
Right.
"Steel & generator" factory.
Right.
So,why the secondary explosions??
@@DuneRunnerEnterprises what secondary explosions? If you mean the fire it is because of all the fuel stored in the factory. Anyway you can check for yourself from the pictures of the place both before and after the explosion. If it was a weapon warehouse the. HZB wouldnt have let the government anywhere near it to extinguish the fire, they would have done it themselves like they done many yimes in the past.
Eitherway HZB can claim whatever they want and the IDF will claim whatever they want, the truth is always somewhere inbetween and the only people that suffer are us regular citizen...
@@DuneRunnerEnterprises for some reason my replies keep getting deleted so I will be more vague. The company is called Infinite Power, you can check it up for yourself.
The factory had fuel depots, those tend to burn for a while. If it were truly an HZB warehouse then they wouldn't have allowed first responders anywhere near it like they always tend to do.
@@Nabjab94the videos of that "steel and generator" factory clearly see rockets flying from the mushroom cloud... what steel beam flies striaght out a explosion??
Problem with buffer zones is settlements pop up inside them lol.
when was a settlement popping up in lebanon from 1982 to 2000? jews have lived in hebron till 1929 and in gush etzion and old city of jerusalem till 1947(in the old city of jerusalem for 500 years). if the palestinians wanted 2 states solution- they had their chances from 1993 to 2009(and even under netanyahu).
Problem with the internet is that any jackass can offer up his uninformed opinions and present them as "fact".
@@user-we4ih1tp7nthere are settlements in the occupied sheeba farms area.
@@alexanderbarkman7832 1) sheeha farms were taken from syria in 1967,not from lebanon.
2)it wasnt declared a buffer zone,israel annexed all of the golan heights in 1967 and people living there can get israeli citizenship.
3)syria had a chance getting the golan heights back in 1990s peace talks,like egypt got back sinai(again,not a buffer zone. egypt blocked suetz canal for israel ships in 1967,moved forces into sinai and paid the price for it,but got sinai back in 1967).

It feels like you're treating Israel as the victim
They aren't, same for everyone in the war.
Chris, I don't disagree with your assessment. I think it's pretty spot-on. I've been running around Northern Israel for the past 4 days. There's a whole sense of calm here that I have not seen in Prior conflicts. The one thing that resonates amongst Israelis, is the return of the hostages. Protests here in Tel Aviv and people lining the roads in the north, all reflect the return of the hostages. The return of the hostages is more important than anything else at this point in time. although that can't be construed as Israel being weak. At the military base I was allowed to go to, every one of the troopers is committed getting back to hostages and some sort of diplomatic solution. It's clear, they think they have seriously hurt Hamas, but not killed it yet.

@@dochi1958what??
@@dochi1958 I'm not asking about right and wrong or justification. I'm just curious about what the larger strategy might be. Can't learn if I don't ask questions.
Ah, well, let me explain.
First, they scored a major morale hit against the Israelis. No amount of bluster conceals that from knowing eyes, and some of us gentiles are still wielding such.
Second, rather than continue the status quo - gradual dispossession via Israeli settlement colonization and gradual genocide via Israeli military operations - the attack forces Israel to show its true face, and the face it showed was not one that its allies are particularly fond of: a literally-religiously-supremacist genocidal regime, killing more civilians in the span of months than the Russo-Ukraine conflict did in nearly a decade, and calling for the total eradication of the Palestinian people from their ancestral lands. As an American, I can tell you without hesitation: I have never found Israel more detestable. Big win for Hamas there.
Third, they drew Israel into a military conflict which, because of its nature and context, has a continually-increasing potential to see expansion across the region, which at present is not to Israel's interests, as there is another major war theater in play drawing resources away from Israel in the context of its most active international supporters. IOW: Israel is now in a war-footing, but the slave-states of the West which Israel typically obtains 'aid' (ie fealty) from are actively engaged in another war theater on their doorstep; which (bemusingly) almost-certainly originates in Russian interference in Israeli operations in Syria in 2013 lol
Fourth, they have stirred this up at a time when there is a major US political election, and this creates an issue for various nominally-left-wing Zionist elements in that, should the right-wing figure in the American election win, he will undoubtedly support Israel to the hilt, and, because he is SO hated by the American liberal population, there is very real concern that their disdain for him will expand to encompass Israel/Zionism to an even-greater extent than is already the case and make it very, very difficult for American left-wing assets to support Israel while the right-wing candidate's support hangs as an albatross round their proverbial neck. IOW: If Trump wins he will support Israel, and because left-wing Americans hate Trump so much, they will hate Israel by extension if he jumps in to back them during what turns out to be an expanded military operation with massive media observation.
To review...
Hamas undermined Israeli morale/augmented Arab morale, undermined the status quo of gradual dispossession/genocide, drew Israel into a military conflict during a time when that is disadvantageous to them due to foreign logistic limitations, created a hazard for left-wing Zionist interests in the US/West... All things considered, pretty noice.

It’s never been the UN’s mission to intercede in a hot war. That being said, I personally have seen the UN deteriorate into a useless body in regards to the prevention of international conflicts. If the organization does any good it’s in the charitable and health related missions.
@@Chiller11The UN truly has become useless as far as interceding in war.
They're basically a bunch of puppets
Israel will not accept UN forces anywhere. Remember, there are currently 10,000 UN forces in Lebanon whose mandate is to ensure the Lebanese government has control over southern Lebanon so they can keep the peace. They are also there to keep Hezbolah away from the border. They have done nothing and in the intervening time since 2005, Hezbolah has, like Hamas in Gaza, only used the time to build up their offensive capabilities. Israel has vowed to not return to the dangerous illusion of peace before Oct 7.

Excellent video. Very factual and, just as importantly, objective.
I don't know if you mentioned them, but the UN vehicles shown towards the end belong to UNIFIL - a UN "peacekeeping" force officially meant to ensure Hezbollah abide by the terms of Resolution 1701 and keep Hezbollah north of the Litani River. As far as I can tell they contribute absolutely zero - what are they there for? Does anybody know more on this?
They are useless and Israel is trying to get the UN to enforce 1701 but they have refused for now because hezbollah will attack
To do what UN does best.
Sit and watch.
UNIFIL like UNWRA are both creatures of the UN.
The UN has been openly hostile to Israel since the 1960's.
Both of the above bodies work in unison to destabilize Israel.
They have no other reason to exist.
so, the troops are there. hezbollah ignore it. when israel defends itself they will just fly over or shoot over them and formally complain to the UN when are attacked on the "demilitarized zone".
which does nothing of course
so if something happens both sides will just ignore it as they already do
but legally is in effect (which means jack sh!t)
this happened in other wars, israel just handle the documentation and warnings to the security council (that were made over the years) "i've warned the UN xx times and xx actor and nothing was done, so now i feel free to proceed" and attacks
Anyone who takes the UN seriously isn't really paying attention. Anyone who thinks the UN armed forces have any meaningful role, in any conflict anywhere, must actively avoid reading or listening and have their head stuck somewhere dark.

they were supose to keep hezbollah out south not only "protect the lebanese army". there's been many official complaints on the security council over it, so israel will advance (if comes to it), hezbollah will too and they'll need to retreat. 10k troops of the UN would get wiped in a day between the IDF and hezbollah. it's 100k on one side and lets say 200k on the other with 10k blue helmets on the middle. they only have apcs with 50cals mostly too
israeli here, they are boy scouts who send reports to the corrupted UN , they aren't allowed to shot or arrest anyone. it's a waste of money to the UN and the west.
Israeli defense force having to learn how to defend kinda ironic.
Hasnt had a real war in years and have gotten complacent

Excellent report as usual Spare Parts Army.
It sure sems like Israel is seriously considering using its army while it is mobilized and operationally vetted in urban combat to go after Hezbollah, I have heard this chain of thought for months.
They are probably waiting until they lower military operations in Gaza before full force on Lebanon and are willing to have a diplomatic solution until then
Israelis really feeling their oats. Hubris is not always a good thing.
Israeli here. We are also waiting for spring. Mud is not very tank-friendly.
A brilliant and informative report cheers
He knows jack sh%t tbh
It's very pro-Israel biased. If Hezbollah is "Islamic Terror Group" then IDF is "Jewish Terror Group". If he is gonna use inflammatory language, then apply it to all sides in the conflict. Otherwise he looks like a biased schmuck.
Excellent summary overall.
Couple of points, though:
Scott Ritter puts Hezbollah's missile/drone, etc. arsenal at around 200,000, not 150,000.
Degree of control/influence Iran has over Hamas is not as great as he makes it sound.
Fails to mention how the sheer numbers of Hez missiles could eventually overwhelm Israel's
AD - this is especially relevant if they can degrade Israeli air force capabilities by denying or limiting
the use of their air bases.
He does mention the possibility of ports being shut down, but only in terms of the effect on trade. But if all the ports are shut down (and air cargo disrupted) only a single land route would remain for imports - under the control of the Saudis and Jordan...
Keep hearing about how the Israelis are going to invade S. Lebanon again (like it worked out so well the last couple times). Maybe they will. But if so, as my Dad would have put it, 'They had better take their lunch'.
Lots of people in Lebanon are on their last nerve with Hez. The munitions explosion in Beirut was truly horrific. And Hez took a lot of damage as mercenaries for Syria’s Assad regime. If they overplay their hand, the Lebanese civil war may re ignite.
Israel Already tried in 2006, ran away from Lebanon like US did from Kabul
Lebanon is made up of 3 factions. The Shias, the Sunnis, and the Christian Maronites. The Christians are no position to wage war since most of the young ones are immigrating to the West by using their Christian card. The Shias have Hezbollah who are very powerful given the fact that they are able to go up against Israel. The Sunni's original backers were the GCC countries but those guys have lost the will to fight after taking a number of Ls against the Shias militias baked by Iran and the on top of that many of their own militias were getting closer to the Muslim Brotherhood which is an existential threat to the monarchies. So the Sunnis don't have anyone to provide arms to fight to they are also out of the picture.
Overall, there is not going to be a civil war in Lebanon.
@thundershirt1
Wrong, not lots, only the people that are known to blame Hezbollah for anything based on nothing but hersey, the same people that have lied about basically anything, including faking a kidnapping attempt and glueing it to the ass of Hezbollah. There is no proof that the ammonium belonged to Hezbollah, you have proof, provide it, otherwise you are just another person trying to glue anything to Hezbollah without evidence, everything being claimed as evidence right now, has been nothing but normal people throwing speculations and heresy's as facts. They are repeating the same thing with rafic hariri assassination, nothing has changed, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
Moreover, It was not munitions, it was ammonium nitrate in its raw form that looks like salt, which is also used for breaking large rocks in Quarries, and in Lebanon, there is a very huge booming Query business that has been eating huge hills and ruining the scenery. Additionally, there is a very important information that most of you in their blind enthusiasm to exploit a yet another thing to glue to Hezbollah seem to be ignoring, these ammonium nitrate might also be for the Syrian Rebels to make makeshift bombs and rockets, because we know for a fact that a group of Western/Gulf aligned Lebanese political parties were smuggling guns and explosive materials to the rebels in Syria, we also know for a fact that the Lebanese army has discovered and raided several weapon depot for Jihadi groups in Lebanon with links to the Syrian rebels and some political parties in Lebanon that would you guess what they had in large quantities, makeshift bombs in very huge numbers, and make shift rockets.
Nope, attempts were made in the past to drag Hezbollah to start a civil war, which saw western/gulf aligned groups kill Lebanese civilians, but attempts failed because they could drag Hezbollah, and Hezbollah is aware that some do want to drag them to a civil war.
That explosion was an a result of negligence on a fertiliser ship unless you know something we don't Hezbollah really has nothing to do with it.

Nine IDF dead? Really, man? Where are you getting casualty numbers from?
Probably the IDF haha
got a source for different numbers? as far as i remember the resistance has refrained from putting out concrete kill-count. Though they did say casualties are definitely higher and used their attack monitoring as proof that the IOF figures aren't accurate.

When was the unity between Sunni and Shia became reality? Upon eliminating their common enemy, they will decimate each other.....
Great point that Hezbollah isn't inviting any foreign journalists to embed with them. I wonder if Hezbollah doesn't want anyone to independently confirm or deny Hezbollah's claims?
They did have friendly journals with them before Israel targeted them. Israel does the same in that they sanitize any and all journalism from their end and won’t even allow foreign journalists in Gaza, likely bc they dont want ppl to see what they’ve done.
It's hard to differentiate between journalists and activists nowadays
Or maybe they don't want journalists with them so that when the soldiers are targeted the journalists don't get killed and Israel will claim that hezbollah is using 'human shields'.
Hey genius. Maybe any journalist that accepts joining Hezbollah would be...wait for it...considered a terrorist sympathizer, and probably not hood for any future career...or freedom to not be imprisoned.
They don't need to "embed" with Hezbollah as they have free access to the Border area.. unlike in Israel who wants to hide everything and prevents Journalists accessing the Lebanon border or entering Gaza etc... I wonder why?
The sad truth though is that many journalists brave enough to use this access, get killed by Israel. The Israelis are desperate to make sure that only their version of the story gets told. So many brave journalists have been killed since October 7th.... and all by Israel.
Nassrlaha said that their objective is to keep Israeli forces preoccupied in order to save Hamas. Considering that at this moment 75% of Hamas forces are either dead or fatally injured, and it's a matter of time before Israel finishes them off, as well as the fact that Israel has already released most of its reserve forces and pulled back most of its army from Gaza, I would say he lost.
It says they lost 6k which is believed be 40k so it not really 75%
Source: I made it up
@@tiglishnobody8750
Israel claim 10k dead. Estimate of injured in a way that prevents from ever fights are about an other 15k-20k . Those are official numbers from the Israeli government, if that’s not a credible source for you than ok, let’s say 6k as Hamas say are dead, you can imagine how many are badly injured by your own.
@@galhadad341 but the campaign has inflicted so much civilian damage, they couldn’t have asked for a better recruiting drive.
@@galhadad341 Like Israel who can't tell the different between militants or civilians like claims they killed thousands in Lebanon 2006 while in international source shows that it like 250 HZ were killed while the rest of the others are civilians. Even US intenl finds hard to trust Israel's words
Minor correction: Hamas is Suni. Iran has subscribed to the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” principle
I suspect that no one expected Israel to respond as strongly as they did, which caused Hez and Iran to hesitate.
Saying 'we will respect a ceasefire' doesn't mean co-ordination when goals are already aligned. Some parts of the Israeli government have been gung-ho claiming they could do to Beirut what they have done to Gaza, seems like IDF General Staff have had to be the grown ups in the room. A withdrawal by only one side from the border seems unlikely but an escalation will only happen if IDF decides, if Hezbollah wanted to do more it would have already done so.
Calling Hezbollah an Iranian proxy is like calling Israel or Ukraine American proxies. That kind of terminology doesn't help people understand the complex and layered interests that guide their relationship.
Also, Hanita kibbutz was purposefully established in 1938 as a fort and deterrent against Arab resistance to the founding of Israel, then as a first line of defense 'trigger' settlement along the border with Lebanon. It is meant to be vulnerable and meant to act as early warning. That's why it's so close to the border, it is literally founded as a civilian occupied shield, i.e., human shield. This is why so many kibbutzim are located so close to these contested borders.
You so wrong,hzb and hms not friends at all,in fact their leaders don’t like each others at all,the only thing who make them together it’s their feelings to Israel.
Tho only reason they join to attack Israel it’s because Iran told them to do it until the war in Gaza will stop,otherwise they don’t have any reason to support HMS
That literally proxy of Iran.
HZB have huge ability to hurt Israel,if they was really want to help HMS they was ruin the big cities in Israel in the first week,but they knew Israel will do the same in Beirut and they will not sacrifice themselves only because HMS so for now they attack only 5-10 times each day just to show to big dad in Iran they helping them.
What should you expect from an American ?
Just as Israel depends on the US, so does Hezbollah on Iran. Let's not fool ourselves
Hey, has many civilians been displaced in the West Bank? I was just curious because they’re has been minor conflicts in the region.
The civilians in the west bank are constantly being forced out of their homes, being killed, and being arrested without charge.
They're attacked daily by armed settlers and the IDF, even though there's no Hamas presence in the west bank.
Nearly 500 Palestinians were killed just this year in the west bank , including over 100 children.
Also close to 1000 people have been taken prisoner since 2023, with many of them being minors (children), and many of these people are subject to abuse, torture, and sexual violence in captivity.
none
Yes, Israel has bombed the West Bank many times since Oct 7th, and has established illegal (per the United Nations) settlements

I see a lot of arguments over whether or not this is a quality source of information. I'll say this: there is no perfect source of information, and a source that clearly states its defining values and biases thereof allows for better understanding of _how various sources arrive at various conclusions_ - it's dangerous to assume any individual, especially a non-expert like your average infantryman, to have perfect understanding of any system.
If you do find that person though, lemme know - they've probably figured out how to break entropy.
Where do you see those arguments?
@@Shinkajo Do you even read the comment section?
If a source states facts and little opinions except to tie facts together in a neutral way, it is a quality source.
If it is more about opinions, feelings and attacking a certain view point, it is a terrible source and should not be sourced at all.
I think he is a quality part of understanding.
No definitive source.
@@NoobTamer all the time, for years now. Almost never seen arguments about whether this channel is a good source or not. But he actually does provide sources to much of the information. Furthermore he constantly prefaces points with possible biases and standards of objectivity. So I don't see what there is to argue about here.
Ofc he isn't a definitive source. He is an analyst, aggregator and presenter of information. Do you even understand what a source is?

You are clearly putting a lot of effort into research, and presenting in a clear and simple format, including hilarious mispronunciations of some place names, etc. (like Ashdod becomes Ashod). I do miss your hilarious comedy edits where you insert yourself into a scene with the protagonists. Generally though I have to say HOOAH to your more unbiased approach to Israel which takes balls in this poisonous media/political space right now. I hope you get time to visit I us in Israel some day.
Lol, “unbiased”. And what “toxic media”? Your people control all of our media and it’s all pro-Israel.
I think they purposefully use mispronunciations to boost comments correcting the errors. They happen in virtually every episode and, you’re correct, often they are quite funny.

why don't we ever hear about those guys picking fruit and veg in an active warzone, I bet that salad tastes great after lol
I guess trench warfare has made a big comeback these days and for good reasons. Never thought that trench digging engineering would come back in vouge.
I have been following this closely since the start but this video breaks it down better than any I have seen yet.
...no one see's an issue with the IDF seeing themselves as an attacking force.... Defense is literally in the title yet not in their doctrine...
Is that why they’ve humored two massive terrorist organizations within their borders for decades?
ever heard of the quote "the best defense is a good offense".
Is that why they pretty much haven’t been the enabler or aggressor in a single war to date?
The idea behind the doctorine is that because Israel is so small and relatively small population it must win quickly so the doctorine is to quickly go on the offence and not get bogged down in defensive wars. Of course the ignorant haters will latch on to this with their hate
I see all this American military equipment being used by all sides and it makes me sick.
Love your updates !
Thank you for reporting on this issue - major media channels either ignore the Hezbollah attacks or portray the action as Israel attacking Lebanon.
You are WRONG!!!! LEBANON IS JUST DEFENDING UNARMED CIVILIAN MEN, WOMEN, CHILDREN, AND BABIES IN GAZA FROM BEING BLOWN UP BY ISRAEL'S IDF. IN MY OPINION, SPEND SOME TIME IN GAZA to really know what's going on in GAZA and in the West Bank.
Illegally occupied people have a RIGHT under international laws to use violence to expel their attackers (The Israelis)
No mention of the effect of a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Eastern Mediterranean?
These guys are trying to drag us down
Mexico is at the Gaza southern boarder.
And Ukraine is right next to Iraq and the hiymalayasis located in beijing
Please stop using that dust filter over clips!!
i think the reason they wont exultate is probably simpler than you think it likely just boils down to money lebinon is not in grate financial shape and cant really afford the economic ramifications of war but they have to look like there doing something hence the border attacks
How do you know what I think?
Praying for all side 🙏❤️
Israel dreads fighting Hezbollah, would mean fighting armed adults on the ground as opposed to bombing children from the air. Israel learned this the hard way in 2006.
