1. I don't think the IDF needs "lessons" from the media clowns
Jake   (03.29.18)
The IDF has forgotten more about Hizbullah than this consultant will ever know.
It has adapted to meet any and every possible threat that might come its way.
It does not seek a casus belli or a confrontation with Hizbullah, but if war does break out, the IDF will carry out its task relentlessly until total victory over the enemy is achieved.
In the meantime, Ynet should stop publishing these endless brainstormings by armchair generals. Simple rule: Those who say, don't know. Those who know, don't say.
2. The neighborhood bar brawl fails to consider

Although admittedly, it could take more than one day.

Of their own in rian don’t get involved. I wouldn’t call for any war even with Bolton on board every commentators thinks reality has transformed to a black and white video game. Life is complicated, war Ian ugly people lose their loved ones. IF Hezbollahs missile a high toll on the israeli populations the Israeli gov (g.d forbid) may decide to launch a strike on Tehran and then... one Nevers knows how war ends and at what costs. Don’t threaten the life of cuties like bar zomer let me invite a few more to hôtel Costes le bougies, greengo or brasserie lipp.
6. Blitzkrieg strategy failed Nazis, they could not hold land
Steve Benassi ,   Duluth, Minnesota   (03.30.18)
... for more than a few years, and so too will it fail the Jews.
7. Not the right time...and damage to Israel will he too great
Danno   (03.30.18)
If israel wants Iran will collapse. There is massive dissent in Iran just waiting to explode. The ayatollahs will not see 2025.

The time to fight this kind of war is passed. The last opportunity was 2014. Now there are too many risks.

However, I would suggest maybe to think outside the box in case war does break out. In world war one the English killed 10,000 germans in one day using mines underneath existing trenches. We know ther are massive underground tunnels in southLebanon. Israel cod build large tunnels underneath them, fill these tunnels with massive amounts of ammonium nitrate and blow them up. I know this sounds bizarre but it may be the way to hit them where they hide.
8. Bunch of nonsense
Avi L.   (03.29.18)
Considering Hezballah on the same level as '60s, soviet doctrine, "pacha" led arab armies, territory and force on force focused, is a total non sense.

Why ynet is keeping dishing out such low level of "thought" is still a mystery.

Blitzkrieg against what? Dispersed, single use, remote operated rocket launchers? Bunkerized houses? Tunnel entrance in schools and hospitals? A few tons IED on main roads?

And then again that clueless "solution" of more or less obliterating Lebanon guilty of being hostage of the shia axis? Thus giving the opportunity for the next antizionist/antisemite campaign?

Please stop publishing this nonsense
9. Bolton... Trump... Forget Hez. Iran is F'ed.

10. good article by gleis
ray   (03.30.18)
netanyahu is totally incapable of conducting a massive war fight to the finish with preemption. he is not a warrior. he proved that in his duties especially in the Gaza wars. he has no stomach for fighting based on his own experience in my opinion.

Lieberman, Bennett along with yogev, galant, they can conduct a massive war against Lebanon.
it would be good for bibi to be out of the picture totally as he runs around pleading and chasing ceasefires before the job is done.

resign for the good of Israel.
11. The Next War will be here soon
Tova   (04.01.18)
Israel knows that. However, this war will more loses than any war Israel had to fight since 1948.

Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihidats are much more equipped and supported by muslins countries. and European countries. They have the technology because of globalization.

Israel also has the problem of the haredim who refuse to do IDF service. Their population has grown since 1948 and they are destroying Israel from the inside.

This leaves Israel to more vulunerable than any time in history.

The war is coming Israel will fight for her life as never before. The Islamic countries have Russia and weapons from France. It's all about power and every country wants possession of Israel.

I do believe the war will be from North and I also believe Russia will be included in this war. Putin will be sure to have many soilders ready

American will watch, but no american soilder will be deployed to Israel.
America will supply rockets etc. And american will be scared for herself.

It will only be by GOD is american ever enters this war. Putin I believe already has a plan in place.
12. Hezbullah? Nasrullah?
A, RightHere   (04.01.18)
This Israel created entity and this fat Jew bastard gets more media play than Bibi, "the other white meat".
13. Cut the head not the fingers
Avi L.   (04.02.18)
Hezballah is an iranian proxy and the weakest link in this proxy chain that goes from Tehran to Beirut is Syria.

Where everything holds together at propaganda level because of Assad junior existence and at ground level because of Hezballah and Revolutionary Guards and their afghani mercenaries.

What should be destroyed is not the hostage Lebanon but the iranian gang kidnappers .

Destroying Lebanon infrastructure won't bring any good to Israel, just more blame.

But destroying Hezballah, RG and shia merceneraries in Syria, who show up in ground concentrations, will damage immensely Tehran and won't bring any blame on Israel.

And maybe, as a journalist wrote, sending a missile in some window in Damascus would add some more chaos in Syria.

Once the existence of an alawiland and russian naval bases guaranteed maybe Putin wouldn't mind at all to see Iran getting clobbered.

In the end, thanks also to Donald election, Putin remains the big player (S400) around there.
14. What will Russia do in such a scenario?This is not 67 /2006
