- An escalation in skirmishes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces is raising fears of a wider conflict.
Saturday marked the worst day in recent fighting along Israel's northern border with Lebanon, after six Hezbollah fighters were killed.
The Iranian-backed group and Israel have been exchanging fire across that border since Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7.
So what could happen if it launches a full offensive?

I'm Lebanese, I was in the Dahyeh area (Beirut's Southern suburbs) that was mentioned by Nicholas Noe in the context of the "Dahyeh Doctrine", in the Summer of 2006. So I know first hand what abject disregard for civilian mass-casualties Israel's "doctrine" means. The neighbourhoods of Burj al-Barajneh and Bir el-Abed - which were right across the Airport Highway from where I was - were turned into what Gaza looks like today. They bombed residential buildings, sports stadiums, schools, mosques, hospitals, bridges, highways - everything. And at that point of mass terror among the population, even Hizb's most bitter enemies within Lebanon, the followers of assassinated Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, threw their entire weight behind Hizb, who were seen as the only power standing between them and the Israeli attackers.
As somebody who hates Hizb with a passion myself, I can tell you that anyone who thinks that bombing civilian targets in Lebanon is going to turn the population against Hizb doesn't have a clue about what they're talking.
😢😢😢😢😢
You mean that Hezbollah and Hamas have never targeted civilians in Israel? And that they never hide among their populations in Gaza and Lebanon? That they never fire rockets from highly populated neighborhoods? that they don't use their populations as human shields?, that is precisely why there are always large numbers of civilian casualties when Israel fights against those two terrorist organizations, because they hide among civilians.
Thank you
We Were Caught Unprepared: The 2006 Hezbollah-Israeli War Matt M. Matthews (U.S Army Security Analyst)
The Long War Series, Occasional Paper 26 *U.S. Army Combined Arms Center* *Combat Studies Institute Press, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas*
Here are some excerpts from the paper: *Hezbollah launched a raid in Northern Israel killing 7 soldiers and taking 2 prisoner as well as destroying a tank* Humiliated by this raid, the IDF launched an air campaign against Hezbollah with the goal of paralyzing the group once and for all thus neutralizing the threat they posed. Thus the 2006 Lebanon war began with the IDF bombing Lebanon and Hezbollah shooting rockets. However this created a rift within the IDF, some IDF Generals believed that air power was all that was needed. Bomb Lebanon for 2-3 months and Hezbollah will collapse, this was unpopular with the IDF ground forces:
The air campaign could not destroy the Katyushas (falling on northern Israel at a rate of approximately 100 a day), and the proposed ground-based raids would certainly have little effect. As one distraught Israeli officer commented, “That didn’t make sense at all. You either activate MEY MAROM [and] occupy the entire rocket launch area, or you don’t-but there is absolutely no sense in raids. They were not going to stop the rockets, yet soldiers can get killed. It is risk without reward.” *We Were Caught Unprepared p. 43*
Eventually the IDF Staff folded and on July 17, orders were sent down to begin an invasion of Lebanon. *And so failure after failure began* The IDF had acquired a superiority complex assuming Arabs were braindead savages easily killed and brushed aside this saw training and even the capabilities of IDF units decline, the IDF was thus not only horrified to find that Hezbollah wasn’t a group of savages but a rather competent armed force but horrified that it couldn’t actually accomplish its mission.
*As one Israeli Special Forces soldier from Maglan explained* The Special Forces soldiers were stunned by the volume of gunfire and the doggedness of the Hezbollah fighters. Another Maglan reported, “We expected a tent and three Kalashnikovs-that was the intelligence we were given. Instead, we found a hydraulic steel door leading to a well-equipped network of tunnels.” By the next morning, the Maglans were virtually surrounded. It was reported from northern headquarters that “the commander of the IDF’s northern sector, Lieutenant-General Udi Adams, could barely believe that some of his best soldiers had been so swiftly trapped; neither could the chief of staff. ‘What’s wrong with the Maglans?’ Halutz demanded to know. ‘They are surrounded,’ Adams replied quietly. ‘I must send in more forces.’” We Were Caught Unprepared p. 44
*Israeli special forces were trapped by Hezbollah and needed to be rescued, this was due to the decline in training standards since the 1980s. The IDF didn’t expect to fight actual wars* In the conventional arena, the IDF ground forces performed unsatisfactorily. The fight at Wadi al-Saluki, for example, revealed the failure of tank commanders and crewmen to use their smokescreen systems, the lack of indirect-fire skills, and the total absence of combined arms proficiency. The IDF lost many of these perishable combat skills during its long years of COIN operations against the Palestinians. We Were Caught Unprepared p. 63 *In fact some Israeli soldiers refused to step foot in Lebanon in fear of dying* *A reserve engineering officer who was ordered to clear a road running into Bint Jbeil refused, his men complaining that “10 soldiers had already died there.” The brigade commander had the entire platoon arrested and carted off to jail* We Were Caught Unprepared p. 49 *The Israelis were aware of these issues, it wasn’t a secret. One Israeli soldier event talked about it with a News reporter, telling the reporter* In the past six years I’ve only had a week’s training. Soon after we arrived, we received an order to seize a nearby Shi’ite village. We knew that we were not properly trained for the mission. We told our commanders we could control the village with firepower and there was no need to take it and be killed for nothing. Luckily we were able to convince our commander. . . . For the last six years we were engaged in stupid policing missions in the West Bank. . . . Checkpoints, hunting stone-throwing Palestinian children, that kind of stuff. The result was that we were not ready to confront real fighters like Hezbollah. We Were Caught Unprepared p. 49
*Hizb are not the same they were in 2006 and they are a bigger army than several hundred and more advanced, Israel will turn into what is Gaza now as well, the arrogant Israeli is clueless just like \israel was clueless and arrogant about Hamas, All Israeli officials are doing on TV is running their mouths*
Ya cause Hamas hides within the civilian population and those civilians support Hamas and don't even care about their own children. So your just spouting nonsense Habibi.
My fellow Americans and I want the world to know that we do not have a say in our government's actions. Our Government does whatever they want regardless of who we vote for. The world has to know that Americans are sick and tired of funding this military industrial complex. We are sick and tired of funding the endless wars!
As a fellow American I want you to know my story. Because I could not survive on my tiny retirement paycheck within the US I resettled to Russia several years ago looking for cheaper life. Considering the US and Russia had nice relationships I did not expect any trouble. Since March this year Social Security stopped paying my benefits and has not responded anymore. My passport expired and I cannot renew it because the Embassy in Moscow does not accept us American citizens anymore. I am too old and weak to resettle again so I can only go to the street begging in a foreign country. It is known that the US government wages a hybrid war against Russia and Palestine, but it also wages a war against us Americans who are trapped abroad.
O mundo não culpa o povo americano do Norte, culpamos sempre os políticos.
So true. There is no true democracy in the USA- the government does not listen to the public. Majority are against the war. Public hate Israelis and their government. Tax dollars supporting Israel.
@@alexhumble7653…. That’s horrible. So sorry
@@alexhumble7653so sorry brother this sickens me 😡
Basically he’s saying they’re going to kill Lebanese civilians just like Gaza! Yes! He actually said that!! These people really have no shame!! And so arrogant! But they are never held accountable and they are never called terrorists by the western media and governments, but if this isn’t terrorism.. what is!!???
yeah literally, saying hezb will use civillians as human shields BEFORE anything has happened just shows how twisted and unconscionable that state is, its propoganda plain and simple. Its deeply concerning and I'm worried how long the west will remain peaceful because our governments are refusing to acknowledge the masses on the streets protesting against their support for Israels g3n0cide
Israeli guy announcing war crimes against Lebanon. Very classy.
Right? Doesn't he sound like a villian? Jeez
If hezbollah enters the fray, the bigger toys come out. If Iran enters the fray as well, I guess we’re going to find out if Israel has nukes or not. Israel is probably going to go down swinging. And some of the higher ups in govt probably DGAF. Israel pretty much has a stated policy of “never again.” I. Elke e they will hold true to that. I would like to know what that 40billion dollar aid package entails.
Confidence is a dangerous weakness.
But is not every time
Not having any air defence systems against an airforce of 500 jets is also a pretty big disadvantage.
what if they do...@@xiaodaigu5659
As an American I really enjoy getting different perspectives from this media station. In America we only hear one side. I wish all this would stop and the people of Gaza free to live a normal life of love and no violence.
AND IN AMERICA IT IS THE WOKE SIDE, LEFT SIDE, DEMOCRAT SIDE AND CORRUPT SIDE!
That is because the mainstream media in the US is Israel's lapdog.
If you need sunscreen to survive in an area, then you are not from that area, especially when the claim is you've been there for hundreds, if not thousand of years before. You should atleast have some melanin.
American media is biased. No confidence whatsoever in American media. It's a joke to say the least.
@@Damian-qn5fz you're giving racism
Elijah from Brussels, what an analyst
I am asking the world, regardless of religion and nation, to stand up in protest as much as possible and stop this killing on both sides,, amen
Israel is the one doing the killing
I love rainbows, I also love unicorns. Everyone should talk about rainbows and unicorns all day. Nothing else... just rainbows.. and unicorns.
In this Israeli - Hamas conflict I want to remind that Hamas was democratically elected by the people to govern Palestine therefore the people are responsible for whatever Hamas does. In other words you cannot say, “People of Palestine have nothing in common with Hamas and are innocent civilians”. They are guilty of bringing this terrorist organization to the power very much like Germans were guilty electing A. Hitler Chancellor of Germany. Consequently they have gotten what they voted for. Even right now dying in big numbers they don’t accuse Hamas, but Israel. Let them have what they have chosen.
No way ..All the thoughts n Prayers in the world are going to stop Nuclear WW3...Mark my words !!!
Did you ask the world or rather the US when 14000 of innocent civilians in Donbass were killed by Ukraine's artillery?
Elijah did an incredible analysis. Listened first time,but this man has my respect as a Canadian journalist. The Israeli spokesperson is not accessing the situation and associated dangers.
But as a human being he is biased too.
He is a former Israeli spokesperson and not the current one.
The guest from Tel Aviv literally threatened to a non-stop massacre and genocide in Lebanon to warn them from entering to the war... How interesting someone can threaten to genocide so freely and not being worried to face any criminal charges!
Exactly. But what’s new? Zionists and impunity
Israel is scared trying to put on a brave face their army has no experience except breaking childrens hands in the west bank…so called reserves
Viva Israel !! ❤️
So the same applies to Iranian backed militia groups who have vowed to wipe Israel off the map. I guess its only one-way traffic with you though, isn't it?
@Az-ru8xy your israeli "soldiers" walk into battle with their chest puffed out, but immediately deflates when they are confronted man to man 😂😂😂 Israel idf is a paper tiger they should be called IPT not idf
Elijah laid it out exactly how it is. He even reminded Uri of Israel's cowardly tactic of purposely targeting women and children. Uri responded emotionally to the facts laid out. Israel hasn't got a prayer in a war with both Hamas and Hezbollah but only time will tell if they have the courage to stop bombarding and actually go into the fight on the ground.
They can't go into the ground
@@jamalabdul825 Now they are on the ground.
I am Jewish-Centric, but I say to you that Israel has been very shocked by the attack from Hamas. The err of invincibility on the part of Israel has been broken. This war must be finished quickly, and a swift move to authorise statehood to the Palestinians be effected thereafter. The world has changed dramatically over the past 20 years- No one feel at ease when innocent women and children are being burned and bombed. The world community will also not accept nuclear weapons being used against a non-nuclear enemy!
There’s no call for nuclear weapons to be used, I don’t think Israel requires the use of them.
That is very well said ❤😢
The MSM in the West does not show us what is going on in Israel, I have seen videos of protests within Israel where they want this to end and give palestinians a state they deserve and stop the bloodshed, there are many survivors of the attack who have the same view, let's hope people power turns everything around, but it won't he easy with power grabbing fanatics who will try there best to sabotage dreams of people on all sides.
Israel needs to hold Netanyahu accountable for funneling money from Iran to Hamas. He has failed to protect the people by playing divide and conquer.
Just dont encroach Palestine land on a regular basis
Thanks to the moderator of Al-jazeera for this great 👍 panel discussion 😃👏👌☮️
“Palestine belongs to the Arab in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French,” Gandhi wrote in the weekly Harijan on November 26, 1938
Who is Gandhi to make such decisions?
It belongs to the Jews. Jews are the original people who were there. There just got kicked out and then they ended up in Europe and now they’re mixed with European blood. So they’re lighter skinned than Arabs but they’re still have the same features as Arabs. Nose and ears, thick dark hair.
@@covertpuppytwo3857I don’t think Ghandi MADE the decision … I believe it just is.
Usekess Ghandi who got creepy with his niece. I'll take dumb historical figures for 500, Trebek.
Gandhi did not have the power to make decision the english mandate decided things.
Shame on US for calling itself defender of human rights
You creat your side of definition, and you are good at it
You fools really believed those western beasts, I lived in the west for 15 years and I know how evil and corrupt their ruling establishment is

the US identify as defender of Human Right similar to Bruce Jenner identify as woman. Both have no ground in reality, totally supported by feeling.
I feel sorry for the america* soldier. When they turn into a veteran years later many of them become suicidal. This year around 6000, their involment in this war will surely double this number years to come. Pity them. Nobody win in any war. Humanity lost. We are more divided and hated each other worldwide.
Stand with palestine 🇵🇸❤️🇮🇳 from India 🙌✊😊
As a Lebanese Christian we support the protection at our borders and the the push for helping Palestinians and restoring Palestine . We do not support hezbollah controlling our politics and the Port explosion but we like them protecting us at the border so we dont disavow them.
Protecting you at the border from whom?
@@LEP021085 Israel regularly uses the IDF to position outposts within Lebanese territory, and as a result there are contested territories within the internationally recognized borders of Lebanon. Hezbollah operates within these contested areas to repel Israeli incursions into Lebanese territory.

This is a really illuminating and insightful conversation. No stupid talking points like most Western media is doing right now
Western msm is mostly propaganda and should not be taken seriously. Since the Obama admin, they can Iie to us with impunity.

“They take all of Lebanon as human shield” dude come up with new line! 😅 that doesn’t justify war crimes sir.
Why did Hamas attack Israel??? The war crimes started there.
I wish I could say I was shocked
Using excessive force is not the definition of self-defense.
They are war crimes.
@@Gojam12 so lame it actually hurt to read. give up on breathing for everyones sake
Who are you to judge?
There is no excessive force against a terroist organisation
War crimes have specific definition.
Excessive force is subjective.
@@jacobsaunders1092 When the force is so excessive that you end up killing more innocent people than the terrorist organizations you are fighting then the term "terrorist" loose all meaning.
There is unbearable pain and loss and feelings of injustice on both sides. Reconciliation, generosity of spirit, and mutual understanding between victims and oppressors are the only way to break this unending cycle of violence. Terrorism against civilians in all of its forms must be condemned and occupation and oppression must end. It is perfectly consistent to say No to Hamas and at the same time say No to occupation and oppression. Most Israelis and Palestinians just want to live and let live in peace. You can say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
Exactly my point but Israelis are too fanatic about having a land only for the jews.. they don't want to give the Arabs even an inch of the land which was never theirs..

@gazrgazr2394 True words mate.
Also And It’s becoming more & more like a humanitarian crisis.
Both sides have killed enough people, everyone shares the blame.
And UN & Arab countries including Israel need to come to some sort of negotiations, cease fire, peace agreement to free the hostages without more bloodshed & to help gaza form its own independent peaceful government with citizenship, 5 million people need citizenship & without terrorism. Israel was without a state of their own for a long time & they should be well aware of what that feels like for the 5 million who have no state of their own.

Some people comment on peace without realizing that most of the Syrian lands, such as the Golan Heights and some southern areas of Lebanon, are still occupied by Israel.
Exactly 💯
Occupied? That was like, 50 years ago. When are you going to admit you lost them in battle? Looking for round 2? I doubt it.
According to international law re a war lands take by a country after it has been attacked is lawful…so golan heights…🤷🏻
@@Jay-nq2jl Really!? Which law are you talking about? occupation
Golan heights…Hamas shill
Incredible discussion aljazeera. Saved and shared widely.
If Israel stop fighting there may be Peace but if Palestinians stop fighting in resistance then there might be no more Palestinians 💔🇵🇸. But In Sha Allah, One day Palestinians will gain freedom.😢 , They Are One of the Most Bravest and Courageous people on Earth, They do not fear Anyone Except Allah ❤️🇵🇸.
LOL stop taking a quote by Golda Meir and ISRAELI prime minister and twisting it for your narrative.
Did I miss when Palestinians invaded Israel and killed hundreds of Israelis? Sure doesn’t sound like peace.
Palestinians only survive because of the compassion of the Israelis if they wanted to they could wipe out everyone but they don’t but Hamas’s charter says they want to kill all of the Jews. Not very peaceful.
Also before this attack I was a supporter of Palestinians but no longer. I can’t support people that cheer the international killing of civilians

We are still seeking the truth, many are with Israel because we believe Israel doesn't want conflict, they just defensively react to the provocations in the region where they are not wanted. The West put them there after the Holocaust, and the chickens have been coming home to roost ever since

Aljazeera should bring together a panel to discuss how peace can be achieved instead of bringing panelists from both sides to discuss military strategies on how each country can attack the other in front of millions of viewers. The news media should be an institution for reconciliation and not propagating hatred, when there's too much bloodshed already.
Sad truth is they don't care... It's all about money...
👌💯💯
Them and other networks. Discussions involving knowledgeable representatives from the people and the political entities should be engaging on this nonstop. Too many lives and communities are being destroyed from mine and others perspectives, yet all the parties causing this destruction just want to talk about how much more they achieve. It makes me think of Syria. Yes, Assad de facto has his regime and territory, but what a place it is now. Where there were towns, infrastructure, and fields, there's rubble and chaos. He's lost around 9 million citizens, a fair amount skilled, the economy is tanked, and he couldn't even assist in getting timely aid to quake victims. He's the ruler of a wreck. Hamas, Hezbollah, and IDF now seem determined to follow that model.
Someone needs to be the grown-up and say "enough, already." One or more of you, I dare you. Show the world you can really be concerned for your people, that you have the maturity to meet civilly at a negotiating table. 🤬💔🇵🇸🇮🇱🇱🇧🕊️🌍🫂
Peace is proceeded by truth. Until the truth is embraced, peace cannot become an actual reality. Achieving peace is a process. It's objective and both sides must want it. Iran could sponsor peace but chooses to sponsor terrorism. The world of Islam must choose between a spiritual leader or a future for Islam. I tell you the truth. The people of God must rise up against Evil.
Same thing goes for west media. They are propagating hatred by misquoting every time. BBC and CNN made a headline calling pro-palestine protesters pro-hamas supportors and they later apologized for it. They say Palestinians "died" and Israelis "killed" when they were both killed.
Pro Palestinian guests should always preface the word Israel with the word Apartheid not only bc it is accurate but also just to stick it to the Zionists.
This discussion is light years ahead of what we get from corporate media in the US & Canada. Would like to see a discussion of the possibilities of deescalation and ceasefire and how that could play out after all this carnage.
You would like to cease fire, but it is clear that Israel is more concerned about wiping out Hamas. They would say that they are fighting for their very existense.
It's hard to get someone who feels cornered by others bent on their destruction, to stand down if they think they have the ability to stop their enemy.
@@fitzy7800 Can't argue with that.
because it's not produced by 20yr old women, all the networks in the USA are run by 20 something yr old women
The cease fire will be after hamas is no more
you wont get that from Canada or the US, they both support and worship terrorist Israel
Okay, the US (my country) being so involved and the unconditional support of Israel already did not sit right with me. This conversation made me feel even stronger that i want no parts of it. Especially knowing that Gaza has no one supporting them unconditionally. Of course hazballah would have their backs, and then that means the US would join in full stop, then you have a world war with terrorists no less, not even countries. It feels, to me, that Israel is taking advantage of our "friendship" because they know that we'll support them no matter what, no questions asked 😢

Keep in mind that Hezbollah is not regular army.
Meaning? Any 'group' that does not abide by the law of armed conflict does not receive the protections of that law.
Hezbollah is a political paramilitary, somewhat in peer to the Mexican cartels. The Mexican cartels are less politically minded, however.
They still wanna fight.

Very good discussion. Such clearly articulated opposing points of view. AJ keep up the good work!
Yeah, great panel. Hamas snuck up and massacred a bunch of civilians, so therefore Hezbollah is a big threat now. Except they don't have any jets, basically no tanks, and no manpower advantage, or training, and no reason to attack really. Smart analysis!
Most of which were BS. You want cleverly articulated? Look at what HAMAS did, and what they are receiving right now for doing it. Words are cheap. The road to peace has been clearly stated and the Palestinians have no intent of complying. It's a simple, stupid equation, pick the wrong answer and take the lumps, or pick the right one, and live.

@@covertpuppytwo3857 how can you delusional lunatic speak about what you think will “ever” be, when the apartheid state of Rotchild only exists for 70 years. You assume that because in your short life you have not know anything different that it will be forever. Do not forget that 70 years ago they were in concentration camps in Europe
The Israeli retired General is more of a propagandist rather than an analyst.
The decision for Israel to withdraw its forces from the northern frontier is one which I see as the best option for the forces, mountainous terrain doesn't favour any force in the world especially in this type of weather and an predictable weather patterns like earth quakes going on and floods.
For hisbullah I think it's prepared for an all out war including air strikes as I clearly remember the group having batteries and more air defence systems it can even install them within this couple of days as Israeli focuses on its southern frontier.
Am more worried of sea attack for hisbullah which is very unlikely considering the terrain and the presence of Russian ships. Aground invasion is totally out of the question on the side of Israel its reduced to air strikes and using missiles
For both frontiers. Aground invasion would totally annilate Israel for it cannot withstand a war lasting 2months or below that
Most of its citizens who of course hard dual citizenship have left the country those that were abroad will take time to mobilise them they are mear militias than an actual force and is incapable of maintaining order or even displine. Lastly no one wants to join a force that kills its own because of a useless law.
And the economic situation for the US is very hard since its involved in two wars that in Ukraine and now isreal.
Europe is headed for tough winter it stream of energy infact in excess as weather patterns that are changing suggest its going to be tough and long winter and that should be its major priority with rising oil prices I doubt if some of the countries can deliver their promises to Israel whose economy is already collapsing with high inflation rates only high risk takers can profit from lending a hand to Israel.
Both have an impact.
The clock is tiking the end of the American empire may as well be much visible for analyst I predict should the Israeli conflict last more than 2months u will see a financial quake worse than the 2008 crush.

I noticed. He is confident because he has two imperialist carrier strike forces off Gaza coast, just itching to use its weapons against yet another Arab/Muslim nation, or freedom fighters.
Did he just say they take all Lebanon as human shields ? 😂 deranged

How bad do you need to be to make Iran look like the good guy?
When over 20 Arab Countries turn their back on their Arab fellows, the Palestinians, Iran (a non Arab country) is the only Country committed to their cause of freedom.
How did you determine that? According to the pro Israel guy, Iran had a hand in staring this mess
@@LEP021085 Just pure propaganda. Even the generals in Israel know that Iran would never that such a flimsy & suicidal step. Iran is not hiding the fact that it supports Hamas, however that does not mean it instigated this war. Had it been involved, by now all it's proxies would be at full scale war against Israel. The day Iran decides, Opec will stop oil production, Russia will close gas supply to Europe, Saudi, Iraq, Turkey & Egypt will be taken into the fold together with the support of other proxies And surely Israel will be forced to sit on the negotiating table for a fair permanent solution for the long suffering Palestinians.
Did I heard the word democracy?
It's a democracy, only if you are of the proper ethnic and religious persuasion.

I think the problem here is that there is a view in Israel and also in America that nations in the middle east do not have access to WMD's when in all likelihood they do , I think they do based on what I've read in open sources in western media and they will do whatever is necessary even if it means a war with Israel , that is my view but maybe they won't escalate , this is speculation
Israel and Hamas should abide by UN demands and OIC demands for a cease-fire , the situation in Gaza is terrible
In the coming years , Israel and Hamas should work towards a viable 2 state solution where both nations can live in peace .
I don't support Hamas or Israel , I'm not religious so I don't support either side , however I would encourage both Hamas and Israel to work towards a viable peace process in the coming years , attacks on Israel are unacceptable , attacks on Gaza are also unacceptable , the situation on the ground is Gaza is dire , the situation in Gaza requires an immediate cease-fire

war is not the solution of this conflict .if hizbullah took any kind of part in this conflict . Then whole region not only but it wll effect the whole world .
Agreed, America should understand this
the world is already in it... america managed to bully russia,china now the arabs... us have to understand that the rest of the world dont play their game and do no fear the states and eu (eu is falling in parts) i am european and i know that eu nato cant protect us in eu and it showed in ukraine russia issue...

Thank for the update and may Jehovah our God through Jesus Christ Pour out his mercy and Grace on the childrens and young mens and womens that are suffering on both sides peace to one and All.
This guy is not a military analyst he is a hezbola supporter.
Both of them are. Shame on you Aljazeera for creating such a biased panel.
Lebanon has to urge hezbola not to provoke Israel
Better question. Is Lebanon willing to be destroyed to allow Iran to attack Israel through it's proxy army?
Lebanon as a country has no say, unfortunately. It's Hezbollah and therefore Iran who decides to enter the war or not
Israhell occupies Lebanese territories.
It depends how much intervention support they will receive from Turkey, if civilian infrastructure is attacked.
Looks like lebanon might meet the same fate as libya, syria, and iraq.
maybe, they are pretty dumb.
Yuri doesn’t even care about the part where people die in Israel he just wants the conflict to happen
Quality interview. 👏👏👏

Same here and I'm in the US
I could feel the tension in this show. Uri did the show dirty by putting in the part about Hesbullah licking its wounds and that def ticked off the other two guests. From that point on it felt like all 3 of them had knives out
But it is the truth. The 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war left large parts of Lebanon destroyed, millions displaced and Hezbollah running for cover. I followed the war back then and it is laughable to see how they claim it as victory for Hezbollah.
A never ending conflict😥😥😥
There is no such as a winnable war ! I just hope that there are sensible people in the world to stop the madness in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon and the wider region. The U.S and the Europeans need to wake up and put diplomacy at work.
The way the US and EU rally their medias to support the whole thing only means one thing: they themselves has interest in this conflict. It is not them that's going to stop it thats for sure. If anything they will try to drag this war to spread to nearby regions
"They take all Lebanon as a human shields" equal for me, Israeli army is scared to fight face to face
I have a feeling there will be a big change in superpowers.
I hope so. American leaders (both Dems & Republicans) need to accept a new world order in which the superpowers that emerge will want peace in the world, not wars, lies and destruction. We are sick and tired of America & its allies causing division between countries and starting wars so that they can make money of it. And American people need to stop accepting the paranoia they are being fed by their governments. There is not always somebody out to get them especially if they are not interfering in others affairs. If they stop rushing out to fight a war every time a twig falls or their leaders scream "terrorism" or "national security" the rest of the world will be at peace. We are tired of warmongers
The writing is on the Wall

Y’all are definitely retarded
Trust me , dictators and tyrants will never rule the free world ❤
Soon there will be no Lebanon like no Gaza. Can these people not sort out their issues. Sad sad world of hate and death.
The strategy of hitting the Gaza to surrender Hamas has not worked at all still rockets are coming from Gaza non stop because 1000s of bombs have only served to destroy civilian infrastructures and have not even properly touched Hamas and even after such carnage of Gaza Hamas is not stopping or surrendering but after few days Gaza citizens are also getting resolved to stand up and not run, so how does attacking Lebanon cities will make Hezbollah stop fighting ? , More possibility is that will pull Lebanon in fight too and people of Lebanon will rally fully against Israel by supporting those fighting against Israel and new fronts will open against Israel. The strategy that those who have taken arms to fight by being ready to die will have change of heart by seeing others dying seems like an very different never tried strategy to win a war generated from no where and it is not working in Gaza.
The facts are, you can’t destroy Hamas. Hamas is a movement, not a group… IDF has no clue what they are doing, they are creating more instability.
The bombing campaign is meant to degrade Hamas' ability to fight, ahead of the ground invasion. This is a common military strategy.
The word proportionate makes me laugh were the Germans proportionate when they bombed Coventry and Rotterdam Where the British proportionate when they bombed Hamburg and Dresden were the Americans proportionate when they dropped Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the fire bombing of Tokyo which
H killed more civilians than Hiroshima I could go on of course when the Israelis do it it's disproportionate what Hypocrisy don't you think the Israelis know all of this it's a word loved by the British since they gave up their Empire and the good old USA has mimicked it no such thing as proportionate in war and all politicians know it
@@thomascotter-o3b the difference is that Germany was not fighting against a besieged people firing rockets. A people who are so poor they depend on world aid to survive. Their land, sea and air controlled by Germany. No, Germany didn't have that leverage to begin with. So you're argument is flawed. With this false equivalence, it shows you aren't that bright😂

good interview .The Israeli man is insinuating going nuclear.1 He does not know that it would affect the Israelis.2 Hezbollah has most his arsenal very underground,in a sophisticated tunnels system, 3 Iran could produce nuclear weapons easily ( they do not want them now because they think they are against Islam), Pakistán could pass nuclear bombs to Iran or to Turkey .The world will hest Israel if it still exist.
If Pakistan passes nuclear options to Iran, India may get involved against them.
That's the case actually. Turkey is the silent player in all this mess. If turks decide to jump in then it will be the biggest blow to state of israel because turks will 100 percent be backed by pakistan which is a nuclear power country.
