If Israel succeeds in totally destroying this large Hezbollah base, especially collapsing the entire structural area, will this force Hezbollah to hide above ground and thus be much more vulnerable to Israel and perhaps even Lebanese government attack and destruction? If this hidden underground base that Iran has apparently financed for a decade is totally gone, does IRGC have the resources to help them rebuild another operational hiding headquarters? Or would this be a death blow to Hezbollah and IRGC/Iranian influence in that region?
A year after Operation Rising Lion and the subsequent Operation Roaring Lion, it is becoming clear that the impressive operational achievements in Iran created a strategic situation more challenging and complex than ever.
The arrogance and mistaken assumptions of Israel’s security establishment did not lead to regime change in Tehran, but helped entrench an extremist, self-confident regime that is not deterred and continues to strengthen its nuclear project and missile stockpiles. Now, as the US administration pushes for a deal and limits Jerusalem’s freedom of action, Israel appears to be left with only problematic options.
