Everyone who has been following the war since the 7th of October knows that all parties involved are anxiously awaiting the next move from resistance-axis factions, first and foremost Hezbollah.
Hezbollah, who pushed Israel out of Lebanon in the 80's and defended the South against another attempted occupation in 2006, is a far more potent and capable enemy to the Israeli military than Hamas or the PIJ will ever be.
Since the beginning of the war, unofficial statements and media reports have been circulating, claiming that an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza would be considered as a red line for Hezbollah.
Despite these statements being unofficial, many of you have wondered, when will Hezbollah really get involved?
Since October 8th, Hezbollah has attacked IDF positions across the Lebanese border every single day, with no exceptions. Approximately 50 martyrs have been announced, and we can only wonder about the number of Israeli casualties. Besides the deaths, many IDF vehicles and tanks have been destroyed.
However, there are clues that something else is being prepared for. Something bigger. Something unprecedented.
Each day for the past 24 days, Hezbollah has consistently and sucessfully been targeting Israeli surveillance & observation equipment on the Lebanese border.
Dozens of radar stations, night vision cameras, infrared sensors, long range communication towers, telescopes and antennas have all been destroyed by the Lebanese group during the past few weeks.
These operations, which disabled most of the IDF's observation network, have practically blinded the Israelis in the north, especially in Metula and the surrounding settlements. One can only start to wonder why Hezbollah would have put so much emphasis on this modus-operandi, instead of just opting for killing soldiers or destroying tanks.
Now that the IDF has committed most of its forces to urban combat operations in Gaza, a unique opportunity is opening up in the north. One that might shape the future of the region. Hezbollah knows this, and has been waiting for this moment for 17 years.
The north is now a total blind spot, and based on the available information, it is very possible that the main event is yet to come.
All we can do is wait for Nasrallah's speech on Friday, but there might be some surprises in store. All the signs are there. -- https://t.me/Middle_East_Spectator/3047
