IDF: Hezbollah likely to initiate limited battles with Israel in 2021, not war
(Worthy News) – The Israel Defense Forces does not anticipate the outbreak of a large-scale war in the coming year, but does expect that Hezbollah and other terror groups will likely initiate more limited rounds of violence, according to its annual intelligence assessment.
In recent months, the Israeli military has come to believe Hezbollah is increasingly emboldened and is operating under the assumption that it can launch attacks on IDF targets without this leading to full-scale war, as it previously assessed.
This represents a significant change in the military’s assessments regarding its dynamic with Hezbollah. The IDF has long believed that if a conflict were to break out with the Lebanese terror group, it would likely develop into a potentially major exchange, something both sides want to avoid. But Military Intelligence no longer believes Hezbollah is operating on that same understanding. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
