Hamas to release some foreign hostages in ‘the next few days’
November 1st, 2023 | 
Author: Hamas made a significant declaration on October 31, stating that some foreigners being held as hostages by it in Gaza would be released in "the next few days".
Hamas' military wing Al Qassam Brigades' spokesperson Abu Obaida said that some countries had contacted the group with this request, and Hamas had conveyed its decision via "intermediaries".
Since Israel begun its air, land and sea attack on Gaza, it has indicated that it has "no intention of ending occupation" (of Gaza). It remains to be seen if these hostages would be gunned down or bombarded 'accidentally' by Israelis forces.
So far, the attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of over 8200 'Hamas terrorists' and still counting.
Meanwhile, Yemen has announced that it is joining the war against Israel.

While I am happy for the hostages, I am worried for the innocent Palestinians in Gaza. The foreign hostages may be the only reason why Israel has not wiped them completely off the face of Earth with an all-out assault. Local hostages means nothing to Israel and can be written/killed off, no pressure at all for Net and Yahoo, just blame it on Hamas and continue to hoodwink the populace.
The whole world may not see through the pattern that Net and Yahoo is chutting, but I am tempted to believe that he intends to use this event to wipe the Palestinians off in Gaza completely, encouraged of course by the US, who will surely exonerate the Israelis from any wrongs, even if they indeed commit genocide in Gaza.
Anyone with half a brain would know that if the Palestinians who suffered this massacre are not wiped clean, 10 to 15 years down the road, the children who survived this holocaust are going to grow up. And when you have an entire family slaughtered by Israelis, do you think these children will ever forget what happened and choose to forgive? I put myself in their position and would carry a nuke into Net and Yahoo’s office and blow them sky high, if I have that capability and chance.
Net and Yahoo is not stupid, he knows that and so does the US. What they did today may come back to haunt them a decade down the road. So they have to continue to concoct more lies and justifications to wipe Gaza clean of the Palestinians. (斩草不除根， 春风吹有生).
Now the Israelis have been proven to shoot at its own on Oct 7, so the fewer the hostages in Hamas’s custody, the more likely Israel will proceed with a full occupation, and helpless Palestinians will all end up being slaughtered, along with any remaining hostages.
I believe I am not alone when I say the Israelis cannot be trusted to keep to their end of any bargain as far as hostages are concerned. Once the hostages are released, it is certain death for the Palestinians since there is no further consideration or pressure from anyone else.
IMHO, the situation as it is now is that Palestinians in Gaza will be slaughtered eventually unless some strong military intervenes and opens a multi-front war. Just Yemen and Hezbollah alone is certainly not enough unless they adopt a scorch-earth attack and overwhelm Israel’s air defenses.
To cut it short, I believe that the Palestinians in Gaza are staring at certain death in their faces, with little hope of survival. Given the circumstances, I would (if I were Hamas) execute the hostages and shame both the US and Israel on the international stage, at least I die achieving something.
What do you think?

Netanyahu has no interest in the hostages. His first action should have been to negotiate for their release. He is a mad man who is demented and holds no value for human lives. If Hitler is watching from hell, he will be laughing at the world for creating a State for the Zionists.
Tech: This devil is only interested in the total elimination of the Palestinians from the surface of the Earth. He has announced this on several occasions, even quoting from the holy book to justify his actions. The US knows this, but they are not doing anything to stop him because those corrupted people in Washington are in the pockets of rich Jews in the US. This is the only chance that he has, since US has his back, practically giving him a blank check, so I am sure he will go all out.
With US also in his pocket, so to speak, I really wouldn’t mind if the supposed “terrorists” all over the world act to punish Israel dearly and stop this madness, even though I normally do not condone what they do. Extreme circumstances call for extreme measures, and since the US is the bad guy this time round and with the world not daring to offend the warmonger, all hopes are on the supposed “terrorists”. If another 9-11 is what needs to wake Israel or the US up, so be it.

The only two reasons that Israel has not completely killed off the Palestinians is not because it hasn’t tried. The main reasons are:
1. Any real attack by the IDF on Palestine will require them to actually enter Palestine (or what is left of it). Hamas is waiting and are well prepared. It will be a slaughterhouse for the IDF to set foot into Gaza. That is why the cowards are using long range weapons. But these cannot change anything.
2. Hezbollah will enter the fight and attack into Israel from the North.They have defeated the IDF three times before. They are feared by all IDF as the most capable enemy Israel have faced.
3. Both Iran and Saudi will have to support the fight. or the leaders will lose their power. Not only that, thousands of freedom fighters will leave these countries to fight in this Holy War against Israel. Israel cannot stand against all these nations without US actually joining the fight. Even then, the Axis Of Resistance has thousands upon thousands of highly accurate missiles that will pulverize Israel. Five hundred broke Israel’s ‘iron dome’. A hundred thousand will remove Israel from the map.
The USA – if it does enter the fight – has lost in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and has no stomach for a real confrontation. The most they will do without actually committing boots on the ground is use their standoff air power. Even then the USA knows that it will have to deal with a hostile Middle East and there are a number of things that will be done economically – oil price embargoes by OPEC will mean the crash of the American economy.
The Iranians will close the Straits of Hormuz to shipping. The US aircraft carriers are sitting ducks in the Straits – do not think the Iranians cannot cause a lot of damage here. The Americans are low on ammunition and firepower, having given most of their arsenal to the Ukraine and have not replenished their supplies as they do not have the manufacturing capacity currently to do so.
Syria has Russian S-300 missile systems and Iran have the S-400’s (although this has never been officially confirmed). The Russian base in Syria also operated the S-400 / S500 systems for their own defense. The only reason Iran and Syria have not used them is that Russia has persuaded them not to. In a real war American planes will be targets for these state-of-the-art weapons systems. Without planes the aircraft carriers serve no purpose. Destroyers are support craft for the carrier strike group – they do not have the firepower to attack land targets like in previous wars. Besides, Iranian coastal defences are ready in case such strikes occur.
America is close to an election year. No one wants a war. Any contender that tries to go to war (Biden included) will lose the election. Even that racist idiot Trump.
Iran and Saudi have vast reserves and are prepared for the long fight. Israel is a fucking small country and in a real fight will be crushed like a bug. Which is why Netenyahu needs the US to fight the war for him. But he has miscalculated. He is trying to kill off Palestine but there will be a point where the rest of the Middle East will decide that enough is enough. Israel cannot win this fight. Neither can the USA. The most likely scenario is that Israel gets its ass kicked again. Yes, Palestine is almost gone but it will survive. The Arab world will not let it fall.

Too little, too late, after so much deaths and sufferings. But I am glad for the hostages and pray that more would be released. As for the evil Hamas, they should be wiped out. Then, perhaps the Palestinians can have some normalcy and rebuiSmld their lives.
Tech: Release hostages or not, the Palestinians in Gaza are doomed for total destruction. The release of the hostages will serve as only a signal to Net and Yahoo that the army can now proceed with the ground invasion and complete destruction of Gaza. Hamas should just kill all the hostages since all in Gaza will be wiped “off the surface of earth” anyway.

@Harder Truths
Very well-analyzed scenario, I would mostly agree especially on point 3. Just a quick note on 1 and 2.
1. Israel technically is already IN Gaza. If you look at the updates, they already are attacking the city. So far the resistance by Hamas has been poor, what I see happening is that the warmonger US is using their war satellite to help Israel weed out any resistance. Whenever the Israeli military faces resistance, they back away and then send in fighter jets to bomb the location, obviously they have eyes in the sky. To circumvent this, the resistance should adopt a guerilla warfare technique, hit and go, like what the Viets did in the Vietnam War which the US lost.
2. So far the Hezbollah in the North are playing tic-for-tat, throwing snowballs at each other. This will NOT dent the Israelis any bit. They have to put boots on the ground and enter Israel to pose any significant threat to Israel. In terms of mobility, Hezbollah are armed with rugged militart bikes, which have more mobility and easier to outrun the heavy and clumsy tanks. Armed with RPGs, Hezbollah can inflict considerable damage on Israel. Net and Yahoo may be able to take losses of tanks and artillery, but if civilians are involved, millions would need to be evacuated, that would be a logistical nightmare.
Hezbollah needs to play smart, fast and loose. Issue “advisory” here and there, on and off on possible HUGE attacks on Town A, Town B, Town C, etc etc etc. If Israel don’t evacuate, then carry out the attack as announced, not 1 or 2 ‘snowballs’, maybe launch 100 or more missiles at a single go. Since “advisory” has been issued, if civilians got caught up, US can find little or no ground to condemn the action. They will not dare to mention “innocent civilians” because they are aiding and abetting the same slaughter of “innocent civilians” in Gaza.
Repeat this trick often, Israel evacuate, don’t attack, they ignore then attack. It would be a logistical nightmare. Israel may have 500,000 soldiers, but most of them are reservists, i.e. rookies if compared to the battle-hardened Hezbollah. In a guerrilla warfare, these rookies will be sitting ducks, dio bo?
So far the advantages that Israel have over Hezbollah is that they are attacking with fighter jets in Lebanese and Syria territory, so no consideration. Bring the war into Israel and their fighter jets will be useless. net and yahoo would not have the balls to bomb their own territory, with civilians on the ground.
Just to reiterate an important point: Palestinians are facing sure destruction and are likely to be completely destroyed without a miracle. Net and Yahoo has gone on record to say that Israel will NOT stop until every one of them is killed (he quoted from the holy book).
1. Now Hamas in Gaza reportedly has about 10,000 or more rockets. Save for those anti-tank and RPGS to defend against ground invasion, I think Hamas should fire ALL the remaining stock of rockets into Israel, imagine 10,000 rockets at a go, one single strike, Iron Dome would be sitting ducks. Plainly put, Hamas needs to adopt a scorch-earth initiative, if it wants to make a minute difference in the losing invasion (I wouldn’t even call it a war since the balance is so very tilted).
2. Up North, Hezbollah reportedly has 150,000 missiles and rockets, about 50,000 are advanced precision-guided missiles that can do a lot of damage. Now Israel has threatened to invade Lebanon. So far, Hezbollah has been wasting its missiles throwing snowballs at Israel while suffering heavy artillery damage from Israel. The Iron Dome has managed to intercept most of Hezbollah’s missiles, so a waste of time and money.
So like Hamas, I would think that Hezbollah could and can make a difference if they put boots on the ground and attack Israel from the north. If they are reluctant to move into Israel, then they should also adopt a scorch-earth initiative and fire TONS of missiles into Israel at a single go, maybe at batches of 500 missiles during each attack?
With their arsenal of 150,000 missiles, half of Israel would be wiped out. Israel has ignored internal laws for war and has attacked targets in Lebanon and Syria, practically invading their neighbors, acting like there is no one capable of ‘touching’ them. Why should Syria, Lebanon or even Hezbollah be holding back?
Clearly the arrogance of Israel has to be stopped and a “no holds barred” response is needed to teach them a hard lesson that they will remember for decades.
BTW, I heard that there are nuclear power plants in Israel, at Dimona. The location is within striking distance of both Hamas and Lebanon. Since Israel has been playing the lie game and “I dare you”, why not Hezbollah also make an announcement ‘advising’ people within 10 miles of the power plant to evacuate south within 24 hours?
Picture 100,000 rockets and missiles ALL targeted at the power plant, Iron Dome, what Iron Dome? You say Net and Yahoo balls will shrink or not? lol
Besides, the bombings of the largest refugee camp and hospitals in Gaza have been easily explained away by Israel, why Hezbollah or Hamas cannot say it was a malfunctioned missile or they were targeting an Israel senior commander in the vicinity of the power plant.
Hezbollah and Lebanon may have considerations and a lot to lose, but Hamas in Gaza is already dead anyway, what is there to worry, dio bo?

TRE Tech is now too emotionally weld up to think straight on the Israel-Hamas war.
Never previously had this occurred in him on other topics.
Well, Deepavali is just around the corner.
Let there be light to shed triumph of good over evil.
Sometimes you have to be cruel in order to be kind.
This event is one such teaching moment.
Hitler didn’t succeed in eradicating all the jews in the Hallocaust because jews are invincible in many ways.
The preservation of the jews until today has a purpose and that is to fight HAMAS and show to the world how to rid the scourge of terrorists at their own time and in their own way.
Never mind what the world may think of them.
For the world is nothing but fools and weaklings.

Firstly,any grouping taking civilians hostage could be grouped under terrorists.
It is common among criminals’ behaviour to hold innocent civilians as hostages for “bargaining”.
Such an approach is cowardly.
Even bank robbers do the same.
If you fight for a noble cause,you ought to use noble means.
Shame on Hamas.
As for Israeli war cabinet,attacking civilians is not the same as attacking the “enemies”?
Shame on them too.
loading...
@TR Tech,
Netanyahu is not interested in the hostages. If HAMAS kills all the hostages, all and any support for them will be terminated. They have to negotiate for the Zionist Army to leave GAZA and to stop bombing before they release the hostages as the International community will not support the stopping of the genocide and as you mentioned in an earlier thread, every body is just talking no actual action by the UN or the 1.2 billion Muslims in the region to help the people in GAZA.
Tech: You are not wrong to say that the Israelis is not interested in the hostages. It would make it easier for the them if all the hostages are all killed, for they can then move ahead with the intended genocide. As for negotiations, the Israelis simply cannot be trusted, unless the international community gets the warmongers US and UK to guarantee a ceasefire, else its all NATO.
Again I say, the Palestinians in Gaza are destined to be wiped out. They are kaput, dead and history. Might as well take the hostages with them. lol

Update as of Nov 2, 57 hostages have been killed in Gaza in air strikes. This monster Net and Yahoo obviously is not concerned about the safety of the hostages and apparently, both the US and UK share his sentiments.

I support Israel. I’m not going to qualify that statement. The basic terrorist plan is a feedback loop of terror followed by trauma forced into the minds of literally everyone…again and again using media. A case in point is the unhinged fury and extremist rhetoric of Hamas apologists. The narratives behind this rage were planted and nurtured – by whom? Why? Supporting a Palestinian state and repudiating far right religious nationalists in Israel are one thing – but justifying Hamas’ depraved barbarism is another level of indoctrination and moral blur. This whole problem is multifaceted in that we are flooded with news and images, some of which may or may not be genuine. Man-made algorithms are very crafty because they get us to clickbait in accord with our inclinations and we reinforce those through our own nurtured environment.
Make note: The Hamas Covenant makes it clear they expect every Palestinian to sacrifice for the destruction of Israel.
Read it yourself:
https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp
The up to date Hamas charter, revised in 2017, is here: https://irp.fas.org/world/para/docs/hamas-2017.pdf
Another point that is briefly noted is the action of Hezbollah. I think they are way bigger threat than Hamas. A direct conflict with them could get ugly. I wholeheartedly support Biden’s decision to have two carrier groups to give any support they need. A deterrence policy to avoid making it a regional conflict should be a top priority.
Now Israel has deliberately chosen to use aerial bombardment and artillery shelling in the dense urban areas of Gaza, weaponry known to inflict vast amounts of civilian death and destruction. The intentional use indiscriminate weapons when Israel could have used very discriminate ones is inexcusable. Such IDF rules of engagement based on the “Dahiyya Doctrine” are the responsibility of the government of Israel and its senior military officers. These rules are the basis of war crimes.
It seems that the Hamas fighters are safe in the tunnels, well-fed, and prepared for the invasion. On the other hand, the Hamas leaders never built any shelters to protect the civilian population or sufficient desalination plants. Of the hundred of millions provided by international organizations and Western countries, exactly what percentage went to help the population of Gaza? Which begs the question: Why has no Arab or Muslim nation allowed any Gazan refugees in? I think we know the true answer.
The priorities for this operation should be two-fold. First, is the destruction of Hamas. While it is not possible to eradicate an ideology, one can destroy their infrastructure. By some estimates, it is worth over $2B, and the sole purpose is for Hamas to carry out terrorist attacks. Second is the rescue of the hostages. This is going to be tough. I hope Israel is able to find them and bring them back home.

@ Harder Truths and TR Tech
Hope both of you are right in your military predictions as the Palestinians really need a miracle to save them.
@Smart Nation
Definition of a terrorist:
Terrorism is an action or threat to influence the government or intimidate the public.Its purpose is to advance a political, religious or ideological cause. So why do you only call Hamas terrorists and not the Zionists who have forced the Palestinians out of their homes?
loading...
6 months tight blockage will starve the tunnel fighters to the rim.
While continue to sweep the surface and seal the entrances one by one. It will get easier as time goes by.
I urge IDF to leave a few choke points to the tunnels ‘open’, allowing the tunnel fighters to feel that they have ‘controlled’ access to some relieves and remain ‘unknown’.
1st month in total no-sunlight environment will be experiencing sleep disorders, weakened immune systems, cause serious hallucination.
2nd month they will limit their ration and the waste they produce will grow to significant level and start to poison them.
3rd month they will grow much frustrations and anger and fear psychologically.
4th month if they are still sustaining, will be on the tip of breakage. Their access to those accessible fake safe exists will be so critical so much so that those tunnel fighters will not want to go back.
5th month not much activities. By now most will surrender.
6th month extra month
Do not try to end this fast.
That’s why Hamas is very afraid now.
When you have fear, your enemies are feeling the same too!

“Why has no Arab or Muslim nation allowed any Gazan refugees in? I think we know the true answer.” I can only guess the answer to your question. Is it because they are trouble makers? Can you please tell me what is the true answer? The international community should cease giving aids to the Palestinians since it’s not going to the civilian population but mostly siphoned off by Hamas to build their military infrastructures and weaponry to fight Israel.
Tech: You have a very shallow understanding of the situation in Gaza. It is a very long story that is beyond just a simple “they are bad people”. May I suggest you do some research, beginning from 1948, when the nation of Israel was established.

@kaiju
Very reasonable and clever tactics I must admit.
However, have you considered the possibility that the hostages are also in these tunnels as well? Besides, you starve Hamas, you starve the hostages too, dio bo?
And since you offered suggestion, for teh sake of talking c**k, here’s my suggestion to Hamas.
1. Leave the hostages in the tunnel that Israel will bomb and let Israel kill the hostages. Announce to the world when and if Israel’s bombings kills the hostages (so far 57 killed and counting). Better still, leave a handphone 24/7/365 in the tunnel where the hostages are held and stream it live. When the bomb hits, the whole world gets to watch what the Israelis did. Cruel rite?
2. Adopt a scorch-earth tactic and launch all its remaining stock of the 10,000 rockets and missiles into Israel at once, and if the nuclear power plant is within striking distance, concentrate on the power plant. The US reportedly has sent its last stock of 300+ Iron Dome Tamir 2 missiles to Israel, meaning that the Tamir 2 is currently very out of stock. It has been estimated that Israel is very very very short of ammunition for its Iron Dome system as days go by.
AND if Hamas is able to coordinate with Hezbollah on the date of the massive launch, add Hezbollah’s 150,000 missiles, do you think ALL the SAMs and Iron Dome in Israel can hold and ward off the attack? Patriot missiles, what patriot missiles? Iron Dome, what Iron Dome, got meh? 1/2 of Israel will be wiped out within hours!
AND since Yemen is in the war, let’s not leave them out. Yemen can launch its cruise and ballistic missiles at the heart of Israel’s administration or whatever bunker that Net and Yahoo and his gang are holed in. It doesn’t matter if the missiles hit the targets, just keep the US (who will surely kpoh and help shoot the missiles down) and the Israeli air defense system occupied and busy.
To be fair to Israel, now let’s say Israel also go scorch-earth and decides to use their nukes. Where or who can they launch at? Gaza? Lebanon, Iran? or maybe Russia or China?
Unless Israel has a death wish, they can’t launch on any of its neighbors because, unlike tactical nukes, they will ANNIHILATE themselves in the process. So Yemen, Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon are out of the equation, so tell me WHO can they launch the nukes at, Iran seems to be the only option.
Now remember that most countries in the Middle East have an anti-ICBM defense system, particularly Iran. ICBMs can be taken out during its boost phase and during its terminal phase, so Iran can and will take out the nuke ICBM when it re-enters the atmosphere. Countries like Russia and China have the capability to take out ICBMs when it is in their flight phase (in orbit), from thousands of kilometers away.
By then, staring at a nuclear world war 3, do you think the warmongering US or UK will still support Israel? The carrier battle group in the area has the capability to take out nuke ICBMs in ANY phase, so do you think the US will dare allow Israel to even launch its nukes?
Facing total destruction, do you think the countries neighboring Israel will even allow them to launch their nukes? These countries may be poor, but they are very well stocked with high tech air defense systems, mind you.
Bottomline, without nukes and facing a barrage of thousands of rockets, cruise and ballistic missiles, do you think there will still be an Israel?
So the million-dollar question I have for you. In such a conventional warfare scenario, can Israel survive an all-out attack I just described from Hamas, Hezbollah and Yemen, even if the US carrier group helps to shoot down some of the thousands of missiles targeted at Israel?
Any more suggestions for the genocidal Israel? I am all ears.
loading...
Does that matters?
Who knows the hostages are even alive now?
And why Hamas keep hostages alive? Because Hamas is benevolent? Or because the hostages are the only last items Hamas can use to preserve their demonic lives?
To answer your question. Yes the hostages might implicated if they are still living. OR Hamas be given the immunity to hide in tunnels.
I must say, you have good thinking of terrorism. Yes, it will show how cruel IDF is. Can install 5G network by Huawei in the tunnels, get some free HD cams installed.
Again, good thinking of terrorism. And don’t need to be humble here, the Hamas stock pile of rockets can’t be just 10k, it could be at least 50k more. By the way ain’t Yemen Houthis tried to missile Israel’s nuclear plants? As for Hezbollah, would they be so dumb to put in serious action to support Hamas? Wait and see. There will be a point Hezbollah over done and next to be occupied will be Lebanon. Why do you think Lebanon still exist? Why do you think Egypt & Jordan is in peace with Israel? Even Saudi wants normalization with Israel.
Hamas vs Hezbollah, they are from different fraction of mus. If they had worked so well together, they could have done it together on 7th Oct.
By the way, is China considering using the same method on Taiwan? Using numbers? 1,000,000 rockets, 500,000 missiles, using long-range artillery system PCL-181, fly 800 fighter planes at one go?
That indeed is challenging. Can try.
That’s the whole idea. Defense. Sit there and wait to intercept the raining down ammunitions. Israelis and others will tie their hands and get ready for punches. And if Israel retaliates, just measure them if they had over done, compare the numbers and accuse them of genocide. And start selectively talking history again.
Frankly, Israel no need to use nuke if you ask me. Even Iran + Turkey.
US involvement in this is to make sure Israel don’t go to far. Iran should thank the american for taking this effort.
You are outdated. I ask you this : how was the 2 eggs delivered in WW2?
You think Israel live in stone age to deliver ICBM?
We are talking about an airforce with pilots flew in dawn to carry out mission and in time to return for breakfast. Even the enemies had wondered what had happened.
I think you were trying to ask in the reverse manner. Are you asking if the ICBMs from those ancient caveman can be stopped? I say, try, and we will know. I don’t have the answer. Iran should try if it wants. Like that we will know the answer. Like you said, just put in a nuke warhead.
Definitely Not! Israel going to sit there and wait for raining shells and take out umbrella and hiding in thick shelters. And count end of days.
Really worth a million dollars? I give you my account number and you can transfer a million to me? USD or RMB or IRR? If it is Iran IRR, save it for yourself. They can try. And we will know the answers.
Tech: My goodness, all your replies are based on your warped imagination of things that do not even exists, you are writing history to rebut me. FYI, Israel has NEVER defeated Hezbollah in ANY battle. The US cannot take out Israel’s ICBM, you claimed because it is not a stone age ICBMs? Are you sure? Israel’s ICBM are invisible izzit?
AND finally, because you CANNOT win the argument with me, I am now a terrorist? So American, good attack doggie indeed. lol
A complete waste of time for me to even bother to reply to you, go play somewhere else, no further reply from me.

@TR Tech
Very well said.Many seem to support the killings by the Zionists who are terrorists themselves against civilians. The preservation of lives seem to take back seat in their support of the Zionist terrorists. If the genocide does not stop, every Jew throughout the world will be in danger of retaliation by Muslims who have been extremely patient and restrained up to date.So what Netanyahu is doing is going to cause the deaths of Jews elsewhere.

@SINGAROAR
The longer the genocide in Gaza drags on, the more Arab and Muslims all over the world will be galvanised and like you said, there would and could be a war between Arab Muslims and Christians/Jews.
It would be a WW3 of sorts, happening everywhere. External war easy to handle, internal ones will be a nightmare.
Net and Yahoo certainly don’t care, because he is fighting to stay alive and out of jail, literally. Back home, he is labeled as a criminal and would have been charged if not for Oct 7, that saved his a$$e.
However, even if he is not finally charged back home, I don’t see him surviving at all, for his fate is either to be assassinated, or killed by his own people or ousted when his own people would say enough is enough as international pressure mounts. His downfall will no doubt be escalated if he drags Israel into a full-blown multi-front war. Israel will not survive such a war, even if the US, and their attack doggies are behind them. Israel will be another Ukraine, in ruins.
My 2 cents.

I will help to provide a list of instances where Israel has defeated Hezbollah in battles. To wake you up from your twisted reality.
1. Operation Accountability (1993) – In response to repeated Hezbollah attacks on northern Israel, Israel launched a military operation against the group in southern Lebanon. The operation, which lasted for five days, resulted in Hezbollah being driven out of several key positions and sustaining heavy losses. Israel’s military success in the operation forced Hezbollah to reevaluate its tactics and strategy in the region.
2. Operation Grapes of Wrath (1996) – After Hezbollah carried out a series of attacks on northern Israel, Israel launched a large-scale military operation targeting the group’s infrastructure and military capabilities in Lebanon. The operation was controversial due to the large number of civilian casualties that it caused, but it succeeded in avoiding sustained rocket fire from Hezbollah for a number of years.
3. The 2006 Lebanon War – The most significant battle between Israel and Hezbollah, the 2006 Lebanon War was launched after Hezbollah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers. The conflict lasted for 34 days and saw Israel launch a massive military operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. While Hezbollah was able to fire thousands of rockets into Israeli territory, causing significant damage and casualties, Israel ultimately emerged as the military victor, with Hezbollah suffering heavy losses and largely losing control of southern Lebanon.
The 2006 conflict ended with a ceasefire agreement mediated by the United Nations, which called for a withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon and the deployment of a UN peacekeeping force in the area.
Note: Tre, this part below you may like it.
While Israel was able to claim a military victory in terms of inflicting heavy losses on Hezbollah, the conflict was widely seen as a political and strategic failure for Israel, as it failed to achieve its objectives of neutralizing Hezbollah’s military capabilities and restoring calm to the north. The conflict also highlighted the limitations of Israel’s military power and the resilience of extremist groups like Hezbollah, which have continued to pose a threat to Israel’s security in the years since.
Thus, learning from lesson. Israel should be careful managing UN. Which I definitely agree with you TRE, that the UN are useless piece of joke to resolving conflicts.
This time, if war with Hezbollah again, when take over Lebanon, should not return it back to Lebanon government nor UN directly. Instead, should occupied at least half of Lebanon until beyond city of Beirut. Move at least a million of Gazaians into Lebanon. Ask Palestinian volunteers from West Bank to migrate into Lebanon by give and register free Lebanon land to them.
While half of Gazaians population left, do a clean up and offer half of Gaza to Egypt.
To answer your question on Israel ICBM:
You don’t quite understand what I said. Go read it again. Israel no need to use ICBMs. Not very effective. Instead, the ancient Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Iran can continue to use ICBMs. Because they do not have a very effective Airforce in delivering the payload.
