An American publication, quoting senior security analysts, reported that “Israel’s attack on Lebanon, although successful, was aimless.”
Eviralnews, 12 people were martyred, and about 3000 others were injured as a result of the explosion of pager communication devices in Lebanon on Tuesday evening. Lebanon’s Hezbollah issued a statement and declared the Israeli regime responsible for this attack and emphasized that the enemy will definitely pay the price for this criminal aggression.
In this regard, the Israeli media also revealed that the type of explosive that was embedded in the devices was PETN, which is one of the most powerful explosives known in the world. This substance is sensitive to heat and friction, which explains the reason for its explosion.
Despite the martyrdom and injuries of countless civilians, the American publication “New York Times” in its analytical article on Wednesday, while mentioning the terrorist act of the Israeli regime as a “successful operation that showed off Israel’s technical capability”, quoted analysts and reported that this The attack does not have any “strategic objective.
The military balance on the borders does not change
Patrick Kingsley, the New York Times senior reporter who lives in the occupied territories, continued his report: “This attack has not changed the military balance along the border between Israel (northern occupied Palestine) and Lebanon, where more than 100,000 civilians (settlers) (Israels) have been displaced and Lebanese Hezbollah continues its attacks.
He added: “Although Israel’s operation on Tuesday showed the power of Tel Aviv and surprised many Israelis who are angry with the government, none of the Hezbollah forces sent to the northern regions will move from their position and the field conditions will actually change. He will not.”
Miri Isin, a retired officer of the Intelligence Organization of the Israeli regime, also told the New York Times in response to the terrorist attack of the occupying regime: “Showing off technical ability does not mean having a clear goal and strategy.”
After yesterday’s terrorist attack in Lebanon, Hezbollah announced that it will continue its anti-Israeli operations and today carried out a combined attack using drones and rockets on Kiryat Shmoune and military positions of the Israeli regime.

The Israels’ fear of the operation being leaked
Also, this American publication continued its report that one of the reasons for this terrorist attack was the fear of the Israeli authorities that their operations and the bombs placed in the pagers would be identified by the Lebanese authorities and the Lebanese Hezbollah.
Earlier, the “Axios” news-analytical site also published a similar report citing American intelligence sources and wrote: “The Israeli authorities have started this operation for fear of losing their operational capability.”
In this regard, the New York Times quoted Amos Yadlin, the former head of the Israeli intelligence service (Mossad), and added: “The purpose of the operation was perhaps to show Israel’s power against Hezbollah and, in a way, to increase deterrence.”
The New York Times continued: “Officials had said that a ceasefire in Gaza would lead to a parallel agreement in Lebanon. But with negotiations over Gaza deadlocked, Israel’s leaders believe they should take more extensive measures against Hezbollah.
In the continuation of its article, the American media, while questioning the claim of the Israeli authorities about the “success of Israel’s operation against Hezbollah”, wrote: “Many believe that the recent attack did not affect Hezbollah and this group will not change its approach.”
Hezbollah does not distance itself from Hamas
Sima Shine, a researcher at the National Security Studies Institute in Occupied Palestine, also told this American publication: “Lebanon Hezbollah is the strongest and one of the most influential allies of Iran in the region, this group will not distance itself from the axis of resistance and Hamas, and the recent operations will have an impact on Hezbollah will not let it.”
He added: “This operation has also called into question Israel’s internal order and communication between the intelligence, military and government officials. Israel’s political leaders (Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime), with their short-sightedness, questioned the capabilities of the intelligence services and carried out an operation that took months and maybe years to design without having a clear goal.
“This operation exposed the growing rift between the security establishment and the political leadership,” Shain concluded.
