Thread following #Hezbollah attack tunnel digging:
1. Since 2014 the IDF received complaints from Israeli residents that were investigated and found no tunnels at the time.
Hezbollah has an operational plan intended on penetrating Israel’s border with the Radwan Force.
2. In order to prevent easy infiltration of the Hezbollah Radwan Force the IDF constructed a wall and artificial cliffs making the penetration much more controlled and creating potential killing zones to ambush the enemy.
3. #Hezbollah has one reason for existence. To confront Israel. So this morning’s exposure is dramatic but not a surprise. The working assumption was that Hezbollah has tunnels. In 2006 IDF found Hezbollah tunnels that they used mostly to hide and move between positions.
4. Hezbollahs video earlier this week indicate that they had some knowledge of their failure to keep the tunnels secret and now all eyes are on them. How will Nasrallah respond?
5. Hezbollah has amassed a huge rocket and missile arsenal of about 150k. That’s more than most European countries. They have precision capabilities, heavy warheads and range that can reach every town in Israel.
6. #Hezbollah has said repeatedly that in the next war with Israel they’ll conquer the Galilee and strike Israel in its soft underbelly, Haifa, Tel Aviv etc. the latest video also highlighted Air Force bases.
7. #Hezbollah conceals it’s arsenal and terrorist command and control capabilities within the 300 Shi’ite villages of Lebanon, putting tens of thousands at risk (illustration)
8. #Israel is not famous for being patient under fire, if Hezbollah takes the first step and attacks Israel the devastation will be extensive of both sides.
