What costs did the powerful member of the resistance in Lebanon impose on Zionism?

Mehr News Agency, International Group: since the beginning of Al-Aqsa storm operation on October 7th (15 Mehr) In the past, almost 9 months have passed, Hezbollah and some Palestinian resistance groups in southern Lebanon have targeted the positions of the occupying forces and Zionist settlements in northern occupied Palestine.

In the meantime, Hizbollah took action in order to involve a major part of the Zionist military in the north of occupied Palestine and reduce the pressure on the resistance in Gaza, which was significantly successful. They acted.

In recent days, various operations of Hezbollah have been in the headlines of the regional and world media, from the drone attack on the artillery headquarters of the Zionist regime in the West Galilee to the arrival of the “Hodood” drone. This resistance group to the north of occupied Palestine and its successful filming of sensitive positions in the port of Haifa.

The leaders of the Zionist regime are fed up with the blows of this powerful member of the resistance front, so that after the successful operation of the Hizbollah “Hodood” drone, the foreign minister of the Zionist regime made empty threats to the authorities. This regime repeated against Lebanon and the attack on this country and claimed: in the event of an all-out war, we will destroy Hezbollah and a severe blow will be inflicted on Lebanon.

The costs of confronting Hezbollah and why Zionism is afraid of the new front

Hezbollah’s combined drone, rocket and missile attacks in recent months have caused an economic shock to the economy of the Zionist regime; From the closing of factories and the evacuation of farms to the paralysis of the industry.

Also, these deadly attacks have made the occupied North of Palestine unsafe for the Zionist settlers and hundreds of thousands of them have fled from this area. For this reason, large parts of this area have been deserted, and the Zionists settled in settlements near the border with Lebanon have declared that they are not willing to return to these areas even after the end of the war.

The Zionist media “De Marker” recently wrote in a report titled “Where will the money for another war in the north come from?”: The war in Gaza has so far killed at least 250 billion “Shekel” (equivalent to 67 billion dollars) has cost Israel; A cost including ammunition, reserve forces, and other items that puts a big blow on the budget.

This Zionist media wrote: With this situation, there are requests to open a wide war front against Hezbollah in the north. The question is, how much will this war cost? Where will the cabinet get money from? The answer is regrettable; No one knows, because the cabinet has no economic plan. The cabinet needs a lot of money, billions, which is beyond the budget allocation for this year. Ground operations in Lebanon will empty the treasury.

According to De Marker, it is possible that the Zionist regime will decide to start a war, but its end is not clear. Will this war cost another 100 billion or more? Considering the strength of Hezbollah compared to Hamas, the cost will be very high. Apart from the direct result of the war, which will result in the complete evacuation of the occupied territories in the north up to the Haifa line, the reduction of tax revenue and the cessation of economic activities should also be taken into consideration.

According to “Aharon” Economic Studies Center of “Reichman University” Faculty of Economics, several months of war in Lebanon will push the Zionist regime to a negative growth of 2% in 2024 And it brings tens of billions of losses due to taxes due to stopping economic activities.

The Zionist media “Kan” recently announced the possibility of a full-scale war with Hezbollah and wrote that observers always point to the consequences of a full-scale war in Lebanon. but what is the economic price of such a war?

This Zionist media admitted: the economic toll of the war with Hezbollah is much heavier than the war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, despite the fact that more than eight months have passed since the war began on the front. It will be southern.

The possible scenario of the war in the northern front will be the lack of communication with the outside, businesses will stop working and children will not go to school, which will cause this very heavy economic loss. will bring In case of heavy damages in the infrastructure, the economy will be paralyzed and the economic growth will be transformed and negative, and the budget deficit will be more than 250 billion.

From the point of view of the observers, while this regime is struggling with the heavy costs of the war in the Gaza Strip, entering into a full-scale war with Hezbollah, the back of this regime will break and bring high costs for it.

Political-security obstacles of the Zionist regime to open a new front in the north

These crimes of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip for several months have put this regime in a political crisis and in a strategic isolation in the international arena. Despite the covert threats of Tel Aviv leaders, they are actually worried about the opening of a new front in the northern borders of occupied Palestine with Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

“Benjamin Netanyahu” the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime on Tuesday (June 29) at the same time as Hezbollah’s Hodood operation and his Foreign Minister Israel Kats’ threat of war Together with Lebanon, he expressed his concern about the serious internal situation and emphasized: there should not be a civil war in Israel.

The collapse of the war cabinet of the Zionist regime, as well as the dissension in Netanyahu’s cabinet and the possibility of its collapse on the one hand and the wave of protests in the occupied territories, have put Tel Aviv in a difficult situation.

Thus, Netanyahu’s warning about civil war has been announced while a new wave of protests has swept the occupied territories after months of demonstrations by Zionist protesters against his cabinet. Demonstrations against Netanyahu in the occupied territories the night before the Hodeh operation (Monday night) also turned violent, and Tel Aviv police forces attacked the protesters.

Network 13 of the Zionist regime also announced that eight protesters were arrested by the police of this regime and that the police used water cannons to disperse the demonstrations. . The news sources of the Zionist regime, reading this demonstration widely, estimated the number of protesters against the Netanyahu government near the “Knesset” building (Parliament of the Zionist regime) to be more than 150,000 people.

In addition to the wave of protests against the inefficient and extremist performance of the Zionist regime, in recent months, the families of the Zionist prisoners have always held meetings and demonstrations, demanding an immediate ceasefire and an exchange agreement. The prisoners are with Hamas; The demands that Netanyahu and his cabinet have ignored so far with the aim of making achievements and avoiding trial.

In this situation where the Zionist regime is facing a lot of political and security problems and obstacles, Lebanon’s Hezbollah has intensified its artillery fire. With the increase of Hezbollah’s attacks on the Zionist regime, Tel Aviv is trying to find a solution, and recently a high-ranking delegation of this regime visited the United States and demanded to find a solution for this issue.

The Hebrew newspaper “Ma’ariv” reported in this context that “Tzakhi Hangbi” the head of the Internal Security Council and “Ron Dermer” the Minister of Strategic Affairs of the Zionist regime with the aim of meeting An interview with “Anthony Blinken”, the US Secretary of State, and “Jake Sullivan”, the National Security Adviser of the White House, have traveled to America. This trip took place only one day after the visit of “Amos Hochstein”, the special envoy of the President of the United States to the occupied territories.

Consecutive trips of American officials and the Zionist regime to Tel Aviv and Washington take place after the German newspaper “Bild” wrote: Netanyahu’s cabinet recently requested Blinken to receive more amounts Arming and stopping sending weapons to the occupied territories has weakened the military power of the Zionists.

Even if the obstacles to sending weapons and the continuation of American financial and military aid to this regime are removed, considering the multitude of internal and external miseries, the possibility of opening a new front from The side of Netanyahu and his hard-line cabinet in the northern borders of occupied Palestine with Lebanon’s Hezbollah seems far-fetched.
