SUMMARY:Important Update on Israel’s Middle East Strategy
DESCRIPTION:The transcript will be available here \nThis 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. \nThis is the difficulty of the sort of asymmetric warfare that Israel must face. \nIn Gaza\, there is no serious response from Hamas to disarm\, aside from some empty\, pointless words. \nMeanwhile\, despite the standoff in the Strait of Hormuz\, the United States is still waiting for a serious and meaningful response from Tehran. \nCome 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. \nAbout Our Speaker: Amir Avivi was born 16 April 1969. He is a retired Israeli brigadier general at Israeli Defense Forces. He served as a military lieutenant at the Defense Establishment Comptroller Unit\, he was the commander of the Sagi Brigade and the chief of staff for Israeli general and politician Moshe Ya’alon. \nIn 2020\, he founded the NPO “Habithonistim” which consists of mainly high-ranking members of the Israeli security forces\, and has been its leader ever since. Too\, he is the chairman of the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF). \nIn May 2023\, Avivi’s book No Retreat: How to Secure Israel for Generations to Come (ות) was published.
