“Israel has sustained numerous casualties, including an unconfirmed number of dead, after one of its commando units was ambushed close to Hezbollah tunnels on the Lebanese side of the border, The Times has been told.
One survivor of the ambush said everyone in his unit had been injured but had managed to withdraw. The ambush took place close to the town of Odaisseh, a village in southern Lebanon.”

This is going to happen more and more as they get deeper.

~~It was an atgm hit on a formation of soldiers walking on a road.~~
~~Modern era atgm and drones will devastate tight formations, Israel needs to adapt to modern maneuvers from the Ukrainian War and not march soldiers so close to each other.~~

You have to feel sorry for the families of the fallen soldiers, but, I don’t know, maybe don’t invade/enter a sovereign state ?

Unrealistic to expect zero casualties in an active battlefield

This is def going to get out of hand. I just have this gut feeling. Both sides are determined to make the other kneel and it’s stupid because so many people will die for it to happen.
I kind of don’t expect anything else from the Middle East tbh.. I would be surprised if someone would suggest peace, they’ll open the blood gates and probably stop when everyone has a dead person in their family.
Lots of suffering has to happen until people start questioning themselves about it.

Is this worth it? Perhaps Israel should instead be content with wiping out Hezbollah’s leadership. They may be leaderless now but they’re entrenched. Why send in troops when you can launch drone and artillery strikes on them instead?

Here we go.
I’m not a military expert but fuck that. As an Israeli I’m sure there’s another way to achieve our goals than stepping into their trap.
Netanyahu doesn’t want to win, he wants a long war.

Everyone knows to expect heavier losses in Lebanon. Hez has actual veteran fighters that have been fighting(and death squading) in Syria on behalf of Assad for years.

Lookup hezbollah tunnels images from anywhere and you’ll see it’s not that easy even if you know where they are.

This fight will probably be a lot worse than the last time Israel fought hezbollah back in 2005-2006?
