Israel’s air defences appear to be in worse shape than ever as Hezbollah find targets further south than ever before! Right, so news has come through of an astonishing first by Hezbollah, which once again raises questions about the efficacy these days of Israel’s air defences, but despite having broken new ground in Lebanon’s offensive against Israel, by for the first time ever striking Southern Israel, the first time Hezbollah have ever succeeded in penetrating so deep into Israeli territory, but not only that, they’ve managed a direct strike on an Israeli naval base whilst they were at it!
This in and of itself, is worthy of discussion and coverage, where were the Israeli defences, was the IDF caught completely unawares? But actually it is but one action in a long list of them this week which includes a landmark target having been reached fighting Israel within their own borders as well, all in the face of even more rocket fire and the razing of homes and apartment buildings in Beirut, as Israel set about attempting to make the Lebanese capital resemble Gaza as fast as possible. The fighting versus Lebanon is far from going all Israel’s way and where they are so focused on offensives, their defences are collapsing.
