The Israeli army is carrying out a series of military operations in south Lebanon to avoid entering into a ground battle with Hezbollah, Mamoun Abu Nawar, ex-Major-General and military expert, said.
It therefore struck the strategic weight of the party leadership to change within the inside to try to achieve complete paralysis in its elite forces affiliated to Al Radwan brigade whilst isolating its leadership from ground operations control centers that manage the war, he added.
The Israelis leaders resorted to these operations after the United States refused to approve their ground invasion of Lebanon and expand the scope of the war and enter into a comprehensive regional war Abu Nawar told Jordan 24.
Israel will not dare to wage a ground war because it would be the main loser and will therefore be satisfied with missile strikes from the air, he pointed out.
Although the situation is “uncomfortable” the war will not expand and remain under control and Israel will not go to a war that will burn everyone, but it is stricking Hezbollah’s so-called strategic center of gravity – the Radwan to avoid a ground war – as it knows it will not win and will get involved in new losing battles in light of Hezbollah’s ability to strike the infrastructure inside Israel, Abu Nawar concluded.

15,000 teddy bears are artistically arranged in an exhibition in downtown Doha in Qatar to represent the lives of Palestinian children who have been killed by the Israeli military machine over the past 11 months.
The exhibition, titled “Echo of Lost Innocence,” and created by Syrian artist Basher Mohammad highlights the staggering scale of loss, during this ongoing Israeli genocide on the Gaza Strip and which resulted in over 17,000 children being killed.
“The idea behind this exhibtion is to convey that the victims are not just numbers,” the artist said.
“It’s a representation of how art and compassion can intersect to create a positive impact in order to show people that numbers can be seen by eyes,” he told Al Jazeera English.
The exhibtion which is trending on the social media, is a testment to the bloody war as the teddy bears are arranged on grey blocks of concrete, representing the rubble of Gaza, while red elements represent blood.
The installation seeks to remind visitors that these children had names, identities, dreams, lives and a homeland.
The artworks are for sale and all proceeds are going for Gaza.
