'Israel' faces strategic failure on Lebanese front: Israel Hayom

The Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom sees the heavy rocket assault on Kiryat Shmona as emblematic of a profound strategic failure in the north.

Israeli media has been addressing the operation of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon which resulted in several missiles causing significant damage in the northern Israeli settlement of "Kiryat Shmona". 

According to Israel Hayom, the missile barrage caused "Enormous damage, the scope of which is far from being revealed."

The report revealed that Hezbollah launched an "unusual" and "concentrated barrage" of several dozen missiles, which left one dead and several injured, as well as heavy material damage to buildings, factories, cars, and anything located in the targeted area.

In that regard, Israel Hayom declared, "despite Israel's notable tactical gains against Hezbollah six months into the conflict, it finds itself mired in a strategic quagmire without a clear resolution in sight."

Damage in the occupied al-Jalil

According to the Israel Hayom report, Hezbollah missiles have inflicted heavy damage in the northern occupied region, the extent of which is "far from being revealed". The report reaffirmed that the northern front with Lebanon has caused significant damage to the sustainability of the Israeli occupation, detailing four kinds of damage sustained in the attack.

Firstly, Israel Hayom underscored the physical harm settlers are threatened with, as the number of casualties rises fast across the Israeli-occupied northern settlements.

Secondly, Israeli media admitted that there's the destruction of settler homes, buildings, and factories.

Thirdly, Israel Hayom claimed direct and indirect impact on agriculture, which would have implications for the Israeli economy.

Lastly, Israeli settlers displaced as a result of the Resistance have reportedly become a burden on the occupation government, as they face unemployment, disrupted education, and a breakdown of the urban settlements upon which "Israel" counts for economic stability.

Significantly, the newspaper stressed that with all the above-mentioned damage inflicted by the Resistance on the Israeli occupation's northern settlers, the Israeli North has been left to its fate as the occupation government "chooses to turn its back on the north."

Strategic failure magnified

This comes as Israel Hayom stressed that "the path to rehabilitation, along with fairer treatment from the government, is to remove the threat of Hezbollah from the border." However, the al-Jalil region continues to get struck by various Resistance movements in southern Lebanon, predominantly, Hezbollah.

These Resistance operations in the al-Jalil region persist despite the assassinations and aggressions Israel has launched against Lebanon and its citizens, an act which Israel Hayom's report referenced as "tactical gains."

Nonetheless, the report emphasized: "Precisely these tactical-operative victories of Israel testify to its profound strategic failure."

Explaining that point, Israel Hayom highlighted that "Israel's security concept states that it is necessary to transfer the fighting as quickly as possible to the enemy's territory," however, six months into the conflict, the security zone remains in the al-Jalil region and settlers continue to be forced to evacuate the northern occupied settlements for the first time in the short history of "Israel".

As such, there are only two solutions, the newspaper noted. Either an agreement between the Israeli occupation and Hezbollah is achieved, despite Israel Hayom stressing that such an agreement would be deemed unsustainable regardless, or a war needs to be launched against the Lebanese Resistance, an option that "both sides do not want".
