Military expert Brigadier General Hatem Karim Al-Falahi said that Hezbollah’s missiles are being placed occupation army The Israelis are in a real dilemma that pushes them toward a ground incursion into… South LebanonPointing out that this incursion will be fraught with risks and challenges.
Hezbollah announced earlier today that it had bombed an explosive materials factory south of Haifa with what it described as high-quality missiles, and attacked for the second day with assault marches the air defense base west of the city.
On Saturday, the American CNN network quoted soldiers in the occupation army fighting on the northern front as saying that the mountainous terrain in southern Lebanon makes fighting difficult, which reduces the value of their military superiority.
Al-Falahi explained in an analysis of the military scene that the missile bombardment carried out by Hezbollah on the occupied territories constitutes a major challenge to the Israeli army, which may prompt it to accelerate ground invasion operations.
He added that this situation puts the occupation in a critical position, as it finds itself unable to stop the missiles without the ability to effectively penetrate the land area.
A big obstacle
The military expert pointed out that the mountainous terrain in southern Lebanon constitutes a major obstacle to the Israeli incursion, explaining that the nature of the rugged area requires a special type of fighting that the Israeli forces lack.
He stressed that this terrain greatly limits the ability of the Israeli army to use its mechanized and armored forces with the same effectiveness as it used them in Gaza Strip.
Al-Falahi pointed out that Hezbollah's military capabilities differ significantly from what Israel faced in Gaza, pointing to Hezbollah's great ability to destroy Israeli machinery and armored vehicles.
He added that the coming days may witness a significant escalation in missile launches by Hezbollah.
The military expert stresses that any attempt at an Israeli ground incursion into Lebanon “will not be a picnic in light of Hezbollah’s capabilities,” adding that all possibilities are open regarding the potential areas of attack, and that any Israeli penetration will have a very high price.
It is noteworthy that, as of last September 23, Israel intensified its air strikes on Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah strongholds, and days later began ground operations in southern Lebanon, after about a year of escalation between it and Hezbollah.
Since the start of the escalation, Israeli raids have killed about 1,300 people and displaced more than 1.2 million others, according to official figures.
