Israel proved once again that killing terrorists produces results

Israel carried out an incredible operation on Tuesday and Wednesday that simultaneously detonated the communications equipment of several thousand Hezbollah fighters. According to intelligence expert Ivo Juurvee, it is still too early to draw final conclusions, but one certain fact was once again confirmed.

“At one time, when Israel used more drones to fight terrorist groups, the theory was that it was useless because for every enemy they kill, ten new ones will replace them,” explained Juurvee.

“As life showed, this theory did not hold true. Ten new people could come, and the new people could also have high motivation, but not the same skills and training.”

Now it is becoming clear every day that really high Hezbollah commanders have been killed. The group, whose political wing is exceptionally influential in Lebanon, has essentially created a country-in-country situation there.

But now the situation may have changed drastically, because those fighters who were not killed are also seriously injured. And according to the latest news, top military leaders such as Ibrahim Akil, the head of Hezbollah’s elite forces, who have been wanted for a long time by the US, have been killed in the airstrikes that took place after the pagers exploded.

“Several dozen people have died and they no longer use their skills against the state of Israel,” Juurvee emphasized.

In the program, Juurvee talked about who from the Israeli services could be exactly behind the attack, whether it could also mean a military escalation between Israel and Lebanon, what lessons it teaches to countries outside the region, and how the attack once again showed that logistics and supply chains are the basis of everything.
