Hezbollah’s destruction would be a game-changer in an Israeli attack on Iran.

The threat of a Hezbollah response to an attack destroying Iran’s nuclear program has now emerged as the key argument against pursuing such a military operation
Those advocating complacence warn that Hezbollah’s hundreds of thousands of rockets, which now include a considerable number of guided missiles, would cause considerable damage to Israel in a slugfest which could escalate into a regional war that America most certainly doesn’t want.
But the answer to this argument is not to light a candle and to pray that the leaders of Iran do not really adhere to religious beliefs which see mutual destruction as a gateway to their Paradise but instead to act now to neutralize Hezbollah.
Yes. Neutralize Hezbollah now.
This isn’t some unattainable goal.
We have spent a lot of money on preparations to do just this.
The IAF has done practice runs of the plans.
There apparently isn’t any game changing gizmo in the pipeline being delivered to the IDF in the next 12 months that justifies postponement until then.
And since we would be initiating the attack rather than responding, even the winter weather doesn’t present much of an obstacle as we can wait for a bloc of clear weather days.
There simply isn’t any reason to wait.
Removing Hezbollah from the equation would dramatically shift the balance against Iran by limiting their ability to retaliate.
Whether this development facilitates a diplomatic solution of the Iranian nuclear challenge or a military one the end result would be a SOLUTION.
Neutralize Hezbollah now.
Dr. Aaron Lerner and his late father Dr. Joseph Lerner founded the Independent Media Review and Analysis (IMRA) government accredited news organization in 1992,which provides an ongoing analysis of developments in Arab-Israeli relations.
Israel diplomacy needs to go in overdrive, silently.
Hezbollahs are a kind of “épée de Damoclès”!
The idea sounds good to me.
The question is how to da it?
Send ground troops to Lebonon?

I totally agree. Pick the day, make the move.
War is coming. With this foreknowledge in hand, you might, at the very least, choose to win it.

Let me rephrase your question: “How many Israeli lives would you be willing to lose if Israel will NOT attack Hezbollah?”
Offensive war is much safer for Israel. War is coming do it on your terms.
Israel needs to what it did in 1967 a massive preemptive attach on Hezbollah and then turn on Iran nuke and missile sites.
Hm, hundreds of thousands of rockets. How many Israeli lives would you be willing to lose if Israel will attack Hezbollah?
I am in full agreement.
