    I’m breaking the rule about not second guessing the resistance.

    Iran needs to hit Israel hard. This is too far. usa keeps testing the ceasefire while israel is openly breaking it. They need to stop waiting for the “big strike” that restarts the war because it isn’t coming. Its going to be a thousand little nudges until Iran looks like a cuck.

    Smack the fuckers. Tell them it is in response to the violations of the ceasefire and that the next time they have to raise their hand to discipline them they will be physically incapable of forgetting it.

      I’m no strategist, but I think you’re wrong here. Lebanon is a sovereign nation and the government there is not yet engaged in resistance. If Israel keeps attacking Lebanon and the Lebanon government continues to not join the resistance, at some point the government will fall to internal rebellion. This would be net positive for the resistance, though absolutely devastating for the Lebanese people. The alternative is that Iran protects the Lebanese people and the Lebanese government continues to support the West.

      Equally important, Israel continue to extend itself in this campaign exposing operations, personnel, and logistics, all of which become more vulnerable the longer their campaign continues. Stopping it early is not strategically valuable. Again, devastating for the Lebanese people, but they are the responsibility of the Lebanese government who needs to get on the right side of history before they are going to be able to rely on Iran’s support.
