This was the great fear immediately after the dimensions of the attack became clear on October 7: while the IDF was shedding blood to cleanse the Otaf settlements of terrorists, Hezbollah would attack the Galilee settlements in a similar format and place Israel in a war on two full fronts after a crushing opening blow. Now we know that Yahya Sinwar didn’t just wish it would be so: he actually built on it and even claimed to have received a commitment on the subject.

As part of the IDF’s activity in Khan Yunis, the IDF laid hands on new documents that tell about the Hamas leader’s assumption of origin in the Gaza Strip, according to which the Iran-Hezbollah Shia axis will not be left aside. In a situation assessment document obtained by “Yediot Ahronoth” and Ynet, Sinwar wrote to his men: “We received a commitment that the axis will participate in the great liberation project due to the nature of the relationship we are working on.” In other documents, he repeats the commitment he received, according to which the action in the south will lead to a parallel action from the north that Hezbollah has been training for under the title of “conquering the Galilee”.

Finally the Ayatollahs in Tehran and Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut disappointed Sinwar. Hizbollah indeed advanced 15 fujs – reduced battalions of Radwan forces – along the border, from the head of the Nakra in the west to Mount Dov in the east, and was on alert for an invasion in an immediate time frame. But he also did not know about the exact time of the Hamas operation, and even after that the order was not given as quickly as Sinwar would have liked. Then, for a few critical hours, regular IDF forces, mainly in reserve, who were jumped from the houses arrived at the positions and held the line for a tense day.

The gap between Sinwar’s consciousness in the document compared to what happened in reality raises the question, why Hezbollah refrained from an action that would have made it even more difficult for Israel, which even so suffered a blow from which the public has not yet recovered. Along with the surprise of Hamas’ choice of date, one explanation is that Hezbollah wanted to test the success of the operation, and by the time it had already grasped its dimensions, the IDF had organized itself in the north in a way that prevented the effective implementation of the plan to occupy settlements in the Galilee.

Unfortunately for him, surely after the threats of the US President and the famous Don’t, Hezbollah started shooting at positions in Mount Dov, and he is content with trying to wear down and wear down the IDF. One way or another, he also achieved an achievement: the evacuation of the contact line settlements and the transformation of more than 100,000 Israeli men and women into refugees in their own country.

According to an Israeli source, the reason for avoiding a full-scale war in the north is different. According to him, Hezbollah’s basic desire was to enter immediately, but Iran restrained it because it knew that Israel would respond with great force, and Hezbollah’s high and dangerous capabilities were not built in Tehran at a cost of one billion dollars per year to serve as a force multiplier for Hamas, but as a sharp response in the event of an Israeli attack on the The nuclear facilities.

After the idea of ??a massive Israeli operation in Lebanon was also dropped, in the first days of the war (the defense minister and the top of the IDF wanted to, the prime minister recruited Gantz and Eisenkot to stop them), the phase of mutual blows began. Around 200, Radwan’s forces were pushed several kilometers north (but not enough to bring the residents back) and senior commanders in Radwan’s force were eliminated.In addition, Israel launches an attack every morning on military targets along the line of contact instead of waiting for Hezbollah to fire and then issue a response.

In recent days, the IDF has already stepped up with powerful attacks in Nabatia, Sidon, Bakhila and Belida. On the other hand, Hezbollah launched a drone that fell in the yard of the home of the head of the Asher Staff Council, Moshe Davidovich. Also the day before yesterday, a UAV fell near Tiberias. In both cases there were no casualties, but the IDF is investigating how the vehicles were able to penetrate without being intercepted first.

“Every day the IDF wins and Hezbollah loses,” Defense Minister Yoav Galant said during a visit to the north yesterday. “I hope there won’t be more difficult days, but if there are – you are ready.” Galant also claimed, who came to be impressed by the “Tal Shamim” system, that “Nasrallah’s reconciliation process has collapsed: the IDF is operating in Damascus, Beirut, Nabataiah and wherever necessary.”

And while Nasrallah is conducting the mind game from his bunker, many in Israel have dealt with the news that its credibility is very much in doubt, according to which sources in the security establishment fear that Sinwar managed to escape from Gaza and even took hostages with him. Although the IDF does not have concrete information about Sinwar’s location, the publication in the Saudi newspaper “Ilaaf” drew a denial from a senior military official, who said that there was no intelligence information to support the claim.

On the contrary: according to him, Sinwar’s departure to Egypt endangers him even more. Given the history of the newspaper, it is not impossible that this is an attempt at psychological warfare, in order to show the Gazan public that Sinwar is not the Gazan patriot he pretends to be, but a frightened terrorist who fled for his life. And he knows why: the action in Khan Yunis continues while the combat team of the paratrooper brigade continues to deepen the fighting in the west of the city.

The fighters raided terrorist targets and eliminated many terrorists at close range and with accurate sniper fire. At the same time, Division 162 launched an operation in the Zeyton neighborhood, in the north of the Gaza Strip, with the help of airstrikes. The operation, with the participation of the 401st Brigade and the Nahal Brigade, focuses on terrorist targets and infrastructure above and below ground.

It didn’t happen during the tree maneuver phase, but the IDF realized that the time had come and also wanted to prove a point: after years of concerns and doubts, it is no longer such a problem to enter Zeyton and operate there for a few weeks.
