Hizballah Surveillance Capabilities (Updated Post)

This is an updated post. A third video has been released by Hizballah of their Hudhud ISR UAV penetrating deep into Occupied Palestine and acquiring imagery of sensitive intelligence and military assets of the Israel Occupation Force.

Israel vs Hezbollah: A bigger war game

Link below to my article on impending Hizballah-Israel War. Main points (for wargamers): (1) This is a “War of Choice” for Israel, but a “War of Necessity” for Hizballah and Iran; (2) 2024 is not 2006: new technologies and tactics will be unveiled; (3) Israeli intelligence is overrated; (4) fear ye not Israeli nukes; (5) expect U.S. involvement; (6) Russia’s role: Iran is “too big to fail”; Russia has economic and military investments with Tehran. Will it intervene? Putin has indicated support for a proxy war to payback the US for proxy war against Russia.

“The American ‘two-party system’ lie was exposed as a one-party system...Until recently, both parties had social and economic agendas that they touted [but now] they no longer pretend to care about Americans. [Trump and Biden, however,] are united in dutifully serving the interests of Israel.” Link to external site is in the post.
