๐ŸŽฅ| Israelis were asked if they support a ceasefire?

Israelis who voted for Netanyahuโ€™s coalition were asked whether they support or oppose a ceasefire in Lebanon at this stage of the war:

โ€ข 88% opposed
โ€ข 10% are in favor

Considering that a ceasefire would serve as a temporary pause, until the US admin changes, are you in favor or opposed?

โ€ข 55% are in favor
โ€ข 41% opposed

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Today the Israeli army released a very insightful report about the tank and APC losses they maintained in their year long war in Gaza and 2 month war in Lebanon

Will put them as pointers below, to ease reading:

- The Israeli tank corps and vehicles are at 88% competency after nearly 14 months of fighting. Which implies 12% of the total active fleet was damaged beyond repair or is in maintenance.

- The IDF announced that 90% of tanks and APCs damaged by anti-tank missile fire or large explosive devices amid the fighting have been repaired and returned to service.

Which implies 10% of all what was attacked in Lebanon and Gaza has been fully scrapped.

- On average, armored vehicles that sustained heavy damage take some 20 days for repairs before they are returned to service.

- Some very heavily damaged armored vehicles undergo a long recovery process, which takes months and years.

Damage to Merkava tanks because of ATGM penetration and IEDs, will cause damage but could be repeared after long overhaul process.

- Some minor issues with the IDF's armored vehicles are fixed in the battle zone or at forward operating bases. The IDF says that 90% of the minor issues are fixed in the battle zone.

โœ The report doesn't openly say how many tanks were penetrated in Lebanon and Gaza, nor how many were attacked.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ As for the medical corps, the Israeli army provided some detailed figures and numbers that highlight how they advanced their procedures.

This substantially increased the survival rights in soldiers that were severely injured in the battlefield

- They report that 5,300 Israeli soldiers have been injured in 11 months in Gaza

- More rhan 700 Israeli soldiers were injures in Lebanon. For comparison, during the entire 2006 Second Lebanon War, 833 soldiers were treated.

- The case fatality rate (CFR) โ€”  the proportion of wounded who end up dying โ€” has also significantly decreased compared to past wars to 6.9% in Gaza and 7.1% in Lebanon.

- For comparison, the Second Lebanon War saw a CFR of 14.8% and the 2014 Gaza War saw 9.2%.

- The Medical Corps attributes this lower rate to better and faster treatment for wounded soldiers, including the use of whole blood transfusions on the battlefield for the first time

- Senior medics are able to reach wounded soldiers within under four minutes during the current fighting, compared to 10-25 minutes on average in the Second Lebanon War.

- In terms of bringing wounded soldiers to hospitals in Israel, the Medical Corps says that via helicopter it stands at 66 minutes on average from Gaza and 84 minutes from Lebanon.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑl๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง Today included several Israeli army reports that were aimed to project success on the Lebanese front against Hezbullah by detailing some of their actions.

The first were several statements that today's airstrikes in Beirut targeted the command centers of Hezbullah that belonged to the executive council, and military units, claiming that those "empty and evacuated" offices will hidner Hezbullah's war management but they also highlighted: "Will affect the council's ability to rebuild Hezbullah after the war"

Which we all know destroying empty apartments won't actually affect.

On the other hand they finally acknowledged their attacks in Syria at a wider scale, and provided a long detailed exposure into their attacks on Hezbullah and its leadership in Syria.

These attacks have been ongoing for years but guess when they intensified?

A few weeks before the 7-Oct event in Gaza, which highlights Israel's ill intentions and ever growing threats against Lebanon and Hezbullah that started to escalate rapidly before Oct-23.

The above video is a timeline they where mention some of these attacks, on both tunnels and trucks. They also accuse some of the Syrian army units of helping Hezbullah.

The Israeli ability to gather intelligence about transfers is possible due to recruitment of spies within the Syrian population and the Syrian army, and without a say, intelligence and air monitoring.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง This particular video has been shared by many in a way to ridicule Hezbullah if it accepts a ceasefire.

Sometimes, many who shared it were ones that accused Hezbullah of not doing enough for months after 7-Oct-23 and many who attacked this great martyr for his speech in Nov-23 that they found "lacking"

Then he told everyone, there is no single button to press to defeat Israel. It is a series of continuous battles and efforts over the time.

Some ask: How do they accept to end the war now, and didn't the pager attack single the start of the war. This speech is after the pager attack

In brief since I already explained the ceasefire details, he is clearly talking about "Jabhat Lubnan" or Lebanon's [support] front. As for the pager attack, yes it was the start of the war for Israel but Hezbullah didnt see it as a start of the war yet. They treated it as yet another blow, they will try to absorb and not escalate to avoid a greater war in Lebanon.

Nothing was more important for Hezbullah during those 11 months but to absorb every single blow, and retaliate in a limited scope to avoid a grand war in Lebanon.

Else how do you justify Hezbullah's reluctance to fire rockets and then taking time to plan a limited retaliation for the pager attack?

Hezbullah's leadership was still walking in the open and they held  public funerals. Sayyed Saffieddine was himself in one which a radio expldoded at and other leadership were visiting houses and doing lectures.

The situation was different and the assessment was different. 1 year of a daily war in south Lebanon and then two months of a grand war in Lebanon, and some would still accuse Hezbullah of abandoning them.

Now let me put it differently.

Gaza has been in negotiations for one year to stop the war in Gaza, and Israel has been clear that they won't stop the attacks on Lebanon even if the war in Gaza ends.

Does this mean Gaza has to reject the ceasefire and continue with the war because Israel won't stop its attacks in Lebanon? Of course not.

In the second ceasefire in Gaza and during the Eid holidays, Israel stopped attacks in Gaza but continued to attacks in Lebanon.

The goal...is one. Ensuring the resistance front against Israel continues and survives. This is a battle in a 70+ years long war. It's is one of many obstacles and a step in this thorny road.

Some people want to continue watching Lebanon being destroyed and Hezbullah attacked to feel good that they are helping Gaza, when we already established how this front reached its peak ability to influence.

Judge wisely, and look for the long term and not the short terms of events. This ceasefire might not even mature and might collapse in days or weeks.

The goal of the support front was to end the war in Gaza, not bring down both Gaza and Lebanon. Israel accepting a ceasefire now is a step closer to ending the war in both Lebanon and Gaza.

Because trust me, the next big thing is in the West Bank, who was largely largely silent about the events in Gaza. Then, slogans "Yalla ya Gaza" won't help, because it is long long overdue and overdone. Likewise in regards of the 1948 Palestinians that stayed as obedient goys. #admin
