Has Hez leadership said anything lately? Like.. declaring all out war on Israel or anything?Â
Or are they too busy scrambling like rats?Â

Hopefully the innocents of Lebanon can survive Israel’s assaults.

So what is Lebanon military doing? Just sitting back and letting a foreign nation bomb the fuck out of the country? Has their govt released/said anything?

Is this not almost forcing an Iranian response? They are losing decades of investment in days.

The lesson interestingly and somewhat counter-intuitively is that by taking half-hearted rocket attacks supporting Hamas and weak to no responses with re: to assassinations in Syria, Lebanon, Iran. Hezbollah and Iran projected weakness, which ultimately led to this Israeli action. Israel would not have taken this action if it actually feared repercussions and its clear now, by the lack of any response, even in the face of Hezbollah’s C2 and political leadership being effectively taken out, that Israel was correct in it’s assessment.
The correct response in the region would have been to massively attack Israel as soon as the IRGC assassination, or even immediately following the Haniyeh/Surkr assassination attempts. It’s great this did not happen, but the fact that it did not happen is a strategic blunder.
What is shows is that Iran and Hezbollah by extension are actually quite weak and are likely not ideological invested in what they say they are so much as purely corrupt. The ultimately question though in these things is, will this result in a re-invigoration, or a collapse – and if the latter should happen, will they be supplanted by better, or much worse.

Well, maybe Lebanon state should try to be the one being in charge on Lebanon ground
