An Israeli analyst anticipates that the Israeli attack on Iran would be "distant and limited", stressing that the Israelis are in a state of "euphoria as if there is no shortage of ammunition."

In a talk with "Israel's" Yedioth Ahronoth, Security affairs analyst Ronen Bergman stated that "Israel" is living in denial and "We have exaggerated by 100% regarding the strikes against Hezbollah, including major figures in the Israeli intelligence and military establishment. They've entered a state of euphoria."

When asked about the impact of assassinations on Hezbollah, concerning the attacks on the Bekaa, the assassination of Hezbollah's Secretary-General and other leaders, Ronen Bergman said that "Israel" overestimated the situation.

He adds that "Israel" has entered a state of euphoria, "as if there is no shortage of ammunition and as if it doesn’t cost billions every day. We feel like everything is perfectly fine, but there are more and more reports of soldiers being killed and injured. The situation is not over, and worse, it has become routine. The Israeli military wants to resolve the situation (in Lebanon)."

Attack on Iran 'distant, limited'

Bergman elaborated that the planned attack on Iran is characterized as "distant and limited," emphasizing that Iran’s situation differs significantly from that of Lebanon or Gaza. He noted that the scale of the attack will be much smaller than what is likely to be portrayed in the media, suggesting a more nuanced and restrained approach than anticipated.

Hezbollah disrupting life in North: Israeli media 

Israeli media are extensively discussing Hezbollah's ability to continue pounding and inflicting damage on the occupied North, as well as the Islamic Resistance's vision for the war. 

In an op-ed for Haaretz, Israeli journalist and military analyst Amos Harel said on October 23 that Hezbollah is still capable of disrupting life completely in the north and imposing a "siren routine" in the center. 

"What the Israeli army cannot confirm is that the risks and dangers of rockets and projectiles have ceased," a matter that concerns the entire northern region, stretching to the Jordan Valley and southern outskirts of Haifa, Harel noted.

The General Staff estimates that there are still tens of thousands of short-range rockets and mortar shells, along with thousands of medium and long-range missiles, which pose a potential threat.

As for the average daily rate of fire, it stands at around 200 rocket projectiles to the North, with some missiles targeting the center, in addition to drones.

"Despite the strikes that Hezbollah has endured, Israeli intelligence has no doubt that the recovery process within its ranks has already begun," Harel claimed. Consequently, based on his observation, Harel alleges that "it is clear that Hezbollah's aim is a war of attrition."
