    Middle East Spectator: Hezbollah - The Game Plan Archived Message

    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.
