Volume 16, Issue 37

“I cannot find a similar intelligence-military operation with such secrecy, lethality, ingenuity, audacity, and impact - targeted lethal use of force, precise and proportionate, as many enemy hit over a wide geographic area. In a single operation, the terrorist group Hezbollah was significantly impacted. War is a contest of will. The psychological impact is massive. Hezbollah cannot trust their equipment, cannot communicate, and will likely change many elements of their operations with the potential to make further mistakes that can be exploited. With a single push of a button, fear was produced in the mass of Hezbollah forces.”

--- Major John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies, West Point, September 18, 2024

As I write this, Israel is mounting a barrage of explosions across southern Lebanon, home to a plethora of Hezbollah bases. This comes after Hezbollah experienced a clear and precisely executed attack from beepers and walkie-talkies, killing dozens and injuring thousands of Hezbollah members, including several high-ranking Radwan members. However, the war in Hamas-controlled Gaza isn’t officially over. And from I,086 miles, the Houthis of Yemen have been trying to lay siege on Eilat, and the shipping lanes of the Red Sea In the meantime, Iran has been smuggling weapons through Jordan into Judea and Samaria /the West Bank, amidst increasing tension and several attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians. This aspect of the war has gotten very little press coverage.

Due to the recent activities in the beqaa valley, we will look at the scope of the entire war. Israel is now taking on a new chapter of the war, and ensuring that the displaced people from the North can return to their homes in safety and security, by taking on Hezbollah.

Does Israel have the military arsenal to be able to defend itself on these multiple fronts? Is the army and are the reservists prepared to be able to endure yet another long war? Is this the end of the long war in Gaza, or just the beginning of the next stage against Hezbollah and radical forces within the territories? How is this long war affecting Israeli morale and the economy? Do the Israeli people have the will to be able to endure yet another stage in this long, existential war?

Here to answer these questions and more is Lieutenant Colonel Maurice Hirsch.

About our Speaker: Lt.-Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch is the Director of the Palestinian Authority Accountability Initiative in the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs. He served for 19 years in the IDF MAG. In his last position he served as Director of the Military Prosecution for Judea and Samaria. After retiring from the IDF, Hirsch worked as the Head of Legal Strategies for Palestinian Media Watch, as a Senior Military Consultant for NGO Monitor, an advisor to the Ministry of Defense, and head of an advisory committee in the Ministry of Interior. Hirsch was the architect of the Israeli law that strips citizenship from Israeli terrorists who have been convicted for terror offenses, sentenced to a custodial sentence, and receive a payment from the Palestinian Authority as a reward for their acts of terror.
