Dr. Jim Denison discusses in Denison Forum’s The Daily Article that the Hezbollah terrorist organization launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel yesterday morning (8/25/2024).
The attack could have been far worse, but Israeli jets simultaneously struck thousands of Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon prior to the terror group’s attack in a preemptive operation, greatly limiting the damage in Israel.
Hezbollah claims it only aimed at military targets, but according to the Israel Defense Forces (“IDF”), Hezbollah aimed rockets at Tel Aviv, the most populous city in Israel.
If you lived in Israel, upon what could you base your confidence in the future? One option would be to trust your government to negotiate peace and your military to protect you in the event of war, but the 2006 cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah clearly has not prevented ongoing conflict. Time after time, Israel has negotiated peace agreements with Hamas, only to see the terrorists break them and renew their attacks on the Jewish state.
One of Dr. Denison’s longtime friends in Israel told him that following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks “[w]e thought we were negotiating peace with Hamas. Now we know we were only giving them time to prepare for war.”
