(haipo) - In this article I translated an article by a Hezbollah reporter, explaining their intentions and their messages to their public. I regularly read their articles on the Al-Manar website, in order to better understand their situation and mindset. The worse they are, the more lies they add, to cheer themselves up.

Some of you will surely say that there is no reason to give them a platform with their lies, but in my opinion, one of the lessons from October 7, 2023, is not to close our ears, but to listen to our enemies, understand their intentions and prepare ourselves better for the campaign.

In the article in front of you there is a lot of fake news distributed by Hezbollah commanders who have not yet been eliminated (emphasis on "yet", because they are being eliminated one by one) to their men in the field, in order to encourage them to continue harassing us.

In their disturbed way, they are actually cutting down the branch they are sitting on, because the IDF, the Mossad and the Shin Bet are now dismantling all the infrastructure that Hezbollah built in Lebanon, from the beginning of the 90s until today (about 35 years of building a terrorist infrastructure). The State of Israel is acting resolutely (and rightly) until this terrorist organization gets rid of its assets and disappears from the scene in the Middle East. Now it is already clear that at the end of this campaign there will be nothing left of them.

Here is the article translated into Hebrew - published on the Al Manar network (under a fake news warning):

The missile barrages on Haifa: the North is in the crosshairs

The third largest city in Israel is at the center of daily missile attacks by Hezbollah, as described in the latest reports. The attacks and alarms have become a routine that threatens the residents of the city and the surrounding area, while the Lebanese organization emphasizes its developing capabilities vis-à-vis Israel. In this article we will try to analyze the meaning of the attacks, the immediate and future effects on the region, and the message that the resistance is trying to convey through the missiles and drones.

Expanding the attacks on Haifa and the north

According to the report, Haifa entered Hezbollah's daily schedule, with missile barrages aimed not only at the city itself but also at central IDF bases in the northern region. which is at the heart of the economy and trade in the north, is significant and affects daily activity. The expansion of the circle of targets, which also includes military bases such as Binyamin, Tirat Carmel and Kiryat Ata, indicates a deliberate strategy aimed at hitting the operational heart of Israel.

Hezbollah's military capability

Hezbollah presents a complex and threatening military array, with accurate missiles and state-of-the-art drones capable of bypassing the Israeli defense systems.

The damage to the training centers of the Golani Brigade in Binyamina, as noted, is a clear sign that the organization intends to damage the fighting forces on the ground as well and not just civilians. Along with the missiles, the modern drones demonstrate the ability to reach their targets and hit them precisely.

It seems that the Israeli defense systems are having difficulty dealing with the new threats, and their capabilities are being revealed as ineffective, which may lead to a decline in their reputation in the international market.

The psychological dimension: the effect of the attacks on Israeli morale

Beyond the physical damage, Hezbollah also aims to damage the morale and personal security of the residents in the north. The daily attacks and continuous alarms, which prevent stability and routine, instill fear and weaken the sense of security of both soldiers and citizens.

The attack on the Golani soldiers was intended to show that even inside the fortified bases there is no complete security. The goal is to undermine the public's trust in the leadership and the defense systems, and to have a psychological effect on the residents who are forced to flee from the areas of the Kiryat and Haifa to the safer areas in the center.

The failures of the Israeli systems in the face of Hezbollah's surprises

The Islamic resistance was able to prove that the Israeli systems, including the surveillance and early warning systems, fail to provide the necessary information to prevent the attacks. The organization manages to launch missiles and drones from the territory of Lebanon, despite constant Israeli surveillance through satellites and aircraft. The intelligence failure raises serious questions about Israel's true ability to protect its residents and fight back.

Expanding the circle of attacks: what does the future hold?

Hezbollah's focus on additional targets in the north, and especially in Haifa and Kiryat, indicates that the organization plans to continue and escalate the fighting. The fear is that the missiles, which are already reaching the depths of the north, will also reach Tel Aviv and other areas in the center. The advanced missiles, such as "Kader 2" and "Nasser 1", show that in the organization's hands there are weapons with different ranges that allow accurate strikes even at greater distances.
