Hizbullah Chief Tries to Hide Recent Failures
(Times of Israel) Avi Issacharoff - Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah may have threatened Israel in his interview Saturday on his home TV channel, Al-Mayadeen, but a clear-headed examination of Nasrallah's "achievements" in recent years shows the magnitude of Hizbullah's failures. The Syrian civil war was decided by the Russians, not Hizbullah, and until Moscow intervened, Hizbullah couldn't stand up to Islamic State. Hizbullah lost almost 2,000 combatants, and thousands were injured in battle in Syria. It may have gained experience in fighting in similar fashion to an army, but if it tries to confront the Israel Defense Forces that way, its failure will be even more pronounced.
