This past Thursday, Radwan Special Forces Commander Ahmed Ghaleb Balout was eliminated by the IDF in a precision strike in Beirut’s Dahiyeh neighborhood.  Five IDF divisions, collectively thousands of soldiers, are now in Lebanon, bracing themselves for the response. According to Hezbollah, they are launching a wave of retaliatory measures. Hezbollah has also launched fiber-optic drones that do not use any signals, but are connected to the operator by a thin cable, that can avoid early detection, and can strike with precision. These are very cheap drones, about the size of a shoebox, that cost just a few hundred dollars. One IDF soldier has already been killed by these, and several have been injured.

This is the difficulty of the sort of asymmetric warfare that Israel must face.

In Gaza, there is no serious response from Hamas to disarm, aside from some empty, pointless words.

Meanwhile, despite the standoff in the Strait of Hormuz, the United States is still waiting for a serious and meaningful response from Tehran.

Come hear the critically important words of Brigadier General Amir Avivi, the Founder and President of the IDSF, the Habithonistim, an organization that fully contributes to the leadership and growth of the state of Israel.
