Hezbollah would 695 00:35:53,359 --> 00:35:58,680 open a second front driving Israel into 696 00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,680 a multi-front warat to the north a 697 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:03,200 second Israeli front there Hezbollah 698 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,680 Which is far stronger than Hamas and 699 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,160 could take this war into even more 700 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,160 dangerous 701 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:20,079 territory just a day after the conflict 702 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:22,520 began hezb fired rockets at Israel not a 703 00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:24,319 full-scale attack but a calculated 704 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,720 signal of their presence further north 705 00:36:24,319 --> 00:36:28,920 now Hezbollah has launched Rockets from 706

712 00:36:42,119 --> 00:36:46,800 ramped up its 713 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:50,079 activity by mid November Hezbollah had 714 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:52,680 targeted over 120 Israeli positions with 715 00:36:50,079 --> 00:36:55,400 rockets and missiles but this was just 716 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:57,200 the beginning hezbollah's true objective 717 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,119 was to stretch Israel's military 718 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:02,119 capacity 719 00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:04,400 nearly 40% of Israel's military was now 720 00:37:02,119 --> 00:37:06,359 stationed along its northern

two-front war on its own Israel 733 00:37:39,119 --> 00:37:43,920 turned to the us for support they 734 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,440 deployed two aircraft carriers strike 735 00:37:43,920 -->

00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:06,079 where they will be available if needed 745 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,839 in early December the rhetoric from 746 00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:10,200 Israeli officials 747

aiming to 750 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:20,480 recreate a buffer zone a territory 751 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:22,480 Israel had occupied for 22 years before 752 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,880 its withdrawal in 753 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:29,280 2000 however the plan didn't go as 754 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:32,119 expected on the ground has B turned the 755 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:34,359 table the situation in Northern Israel 756 00:38:32,119 --> 00:38:37,280 turned into a war of attrition with 757 00:38:34,359 --> 00:38:38,920 missile strikes rocket fire and ambushes 758 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,760 becoming the daily reality visit 759 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:45,880 Northern Israel today and you find ghost 760 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:48,240 towns such as Matula Arab ala and kirat 761

Israel found 764 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:57,800 itself creating an unintended buffer 765 00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:00,440 zone not in Lebanon but within its own 766 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,440 territory 767 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:07,880 instead nearly 6 months after the 768 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:10,200 October 7th events Israel finds itself 769 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:13,160 in an increasingly difficult 770 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:15,640 position the war in Gaza originally 771 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:19,560 aimed at eliminating hos and rescuing 772 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:21,800 hostages has dragged on with no decisive 773 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:24,280 victories Israel's International 774 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:26,680 standing has been damaged dramatically 775 00:39:24,280 -->

oldest and most reliable 790 00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:04,000 methods this tactic was intended to 791 00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:07,520 shift the momentum back in their 792 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:09,880 favor just a month after Iron's attack a 793 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,640 suspicious helicopter crash resulted in 794 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,520 the deaths of Iron's president and 795 00:40:11,640
