A multi-front war now threatens Israel after fire from Lebanon, Syria - analysis
Jerusalem Post ^ | 10/11/23 | Seth J. Frantzman

Posted on 10/11/2023 3:44:07 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

The IDF said several launches from Syria into Israeli territory were identified.

The IDF said that “part of the launches crossed into Israeli territory and presumably fell in an open area.” Israel responded with artillery fire.

Meanwhile, near Gaza, IDF soldiers killed two terrorists in the area of Kibbutz Re'im and killed another two terrorists in the area of Kibbutz Mefalsim. In Lebanon, terrorists fired an anti-tank missile toward a military vehicle near Avivim. The conflict that Israel has prepared for appears to be emerging.

It is increasingly clear that a large number of incidents are coming together. This includes the horrendous October 7 invasion by Hamas that led to 29 breaches in the fence around Gaza and saw terrorists attack 20 communities. The full scale of the attack is still being understood but it is known that 1,000 people were murdered and many communities destroyed. Thousands were injured. Israel has retaken the border area and called up 300,000 people.

Netanyahu said their response would change things forever in the Middle East.

We’ll see if they follow through.

Hezbollah is depleted from the Syrian Civil War. Assad doesn’t need more problems. He’s not really in complete control of his country.

Surround Gaza and cut off power, water and supplies.

Leave one exit open.

Grab them as they come out and put them on ships to Iran.

Lots of land in Iran.

Lots of sympathetic Muslims in Iran.

Lots of American Taxpayer money in Iran thanks to the traitor Democrats.

Hunger and thirst takes the fight right out of them.

Yes, this whole thing seems clearly orchestrated by Iran.
Iranian-Hezbollah attacking on another front proves it.

We’ll see. Lebanon has internal problems. Hezbullah is known from time to time to just let it be known they are still there. This is not very unusual though they did say they did it “in solidarity” it was more symbol than substance. They did direct hit some Israeli military targets which may mean they are more sophisticated technically and militarily. However, they could find themselves squashed from the north and south (and from above) if the Lebanese army were convinced, with the help of the people in Lebanon who want Hezbullah out and outside encouragement, to open a northern front against them while Israel pushed up from the south.

Russia will keep a lid on Syria, though rogue ISIS still roam around parts of the country.

West Bank Fatah/Palestinian Authority leadership has been quiet. They don’t like Israel very much, but they dislike Hamas even more so they probably have something to gain if Hamas is decimated... and Israel has been very well positioned defensively in that region. It’s been volatile this year, not like this Hamas atrocity... but I’ve heard of no news coming from the West Bank since Saturday. My guess is they are going to stand down too. Israel is pissed off and pushed past tolerance points. They can’t win unless they stay out.

A couple of AC-130 gunships over Hezbullah positions would neutralize a lot of their capability. Unfortunately I don’t think Israel has those.

If things spill into Syria, and I think they will, it'll be a target rich environment for a lot of foreign militaries.

Reports of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard transporting hundreds of heavy, long-range ballistic missiles to their launch sites

If this is true things are about to get messy.

Stupid arm chair general here but that seems correct.

Hezbullah is very, very good on defense, but offense is a different game.

Assad wants a third front like I want a third root canal.
