Ok, that was a show off, a detonation of a thousand pagers in Lebanon. The mere intelligence gathering, the logistics, the technical development is pretty astounding.

Yet, let’s not be too cocky.

We need to address the final issue; how do we get the hostages back and make peace?

To this end, the operation simply showed the shift of the priorities of the Israeli war effort and and by that the strategic effect.

The effect is, to make it simple; in a war with Hezbollah, Israel is far superior. Superior in weapons, strategies and effect.

This is warning, that shows this reality.

This is in direct contrast to the war in Gaza, where Hamas is superior to IDF because of the tunnels.

So, in essence. Israel is fighting on a terrain that suits the strengths the IDF and Mossad.

This again, lifts morale on the Israeli side, and gives Israel a much needed boost.

For now it is mostly an internal boost, yet it will develop into an international recognition as the war continues.

Because now Israel fights as it is supposed to do; with ingenuity, intelligence and new ideas. Being the David and not the Goliath.

That is how Jews are fighting in our best situation.

But, just because we had a win, we still MUST leverage this in the peace negotiations.

Show the international public, that we are absolutely open for any kind of deal, that respects our red lines, that are, that we will not accept a 7 October again, and we need to make sure, that does not happen, and that we get the hostages back.

G-d bless the will to find a peace, that all can live with, both Jews and Muslims.
