This is part of the never ending wars. Short of something cataclysmic which at this point can't be qualified , this is how things will proceed in that part of the world. Both sides are used to it .
Israel has been playing this high stakes game since prior to the Yom Kippur war & has been winning . Compared to that era , these are still minor wars against minor enemies.
As long as there's asabiya within Israel & the West primarily the US supports & bankrolls it , Israel can continue indefinitely.
How long will this state of affairs continue is anybody's guess !
However just a point about their preparations & operations. Israel has been trying to get Nasrallah from forever. They badly burnt their fingers when they tried assassinating him & attempted to decapitate the Hezbollah leadership during the 2006 war in Lebanon.
Since then they've pursued their target single mindedly . 18 years later they've achieved everything they wanted to. They've killed Nasrallah , they've decapitated the entire senior leadership of Hezbollah. They've sabotaged their comunication network, they've been taking out Hezbollah ammo dumps with pin point accuracy , etc.
This requires not just good ELINT or COMINT but top notch HUMINT . All this doesn't come in a day. Arguably they've been preparing for this day since 2006 & whatever they're executing today has been war gamed extensively over those 18 years & refined. That's how you get the kind of successes you're seeing which seemingly was executed extremely smoothly with clock work precision.
Now compare that to our response vis a vis Paxtan & the tanzeems housed there .
I keep saying this over and over, the simple reality of Israel is staring at us OPENLY IN THE FACE but Arabs & muslims will refuse to believe it and the rest of the world will refuse to say it.
Israel is PERFECT example of 'geography determines destiny'. Except for the muslim sides, not a SINGLE major nation refuses to recognize Israel and agree to the fundamental articles of Palestinian & Arab demands such as refusal of israel's right to exist or return of the filastini 'nakbaa descendants' to israel as full citizens.
Not even China, Russia, etc. who are traditionally anti-israel, siding with arabs for decades and have bases in Israel's hated enemy nations like Syria, politically fuck with Israel. Why ?
Because this is the reality of THAT part of the world and the whole world:
THE SPICE MUST FLOW. Ie, trade must happen. Ie, Suez Canal, the greatest canal in the world for volume and value of traffic, must flow. Egypt, that owns Suez, is a topsy-turvy military dictatorship that when not military dictorship, immediately falls into either hyper Arab nationalism (Nasr days) or hyper crazy Islamist of the Islamic brotherhood days. All three means, there is no 'rule of law' legal system to guarantee contracts LONG TERM ( 25-50 year contracts, etc). This isnt like dealing with germany and Kiel canal, where short of active warfare, your claims and court-kacheri will not randomly get screwed over. or even India or even such rule of law nations. Hell, Egypt even tried in the 1950s to go 'fuck u, my canal, my rules and i just say these countries cant access so fuck u some more' with the Suez.
The answer ? get the ONLY RULE OF LAW NATION IN THE MOHOLLAH ( Israel) to go invade Sinai and take over Suez.
****THAT**** is the geopolitical ace in the hole of Israel- regarldess of whether their interests in fighting islamic imperialism matches with us or anyone else or not.
Israel will ALWAYS be courted by goods trade-based economies because Containerships have much smaller margins than oil & gas ships ( you wont feel more than 5 cents at the petrol pump, if your oil tanker from Qatar took the Suez or went around Africa to bring your oil to Belgium, but you WILL feel it at supermarkets, if your chinese container ship or japanese car container ship had to re-route across africa.
And as such, EVERY SINGLE goods exporting/importing major heavyweight is at best 'meh'with israel on a political level and never taking the stance of 'na you cant exist,na let palestinians return' like moozie nations do.
Why do Moozie nations do this ? Because ONLY MOOZIE NATIONS dont care about Suez ( well except the only Moozie nation that benefits through this aka Egypt) - none of the moozie nations are major manufactured goods importer/exporters - most are dead-ass poor and some that are rich are OIL &GAS exporters.
As noted above, Oil & Gas prices are not hugely subject to routes of the oil & gas and MOST of moozie oil & gas flows east, not west, meaning it doesnt take the Suez, so countries like Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, UAE dont care much about Suez, as their oil goes east to rest of Asia by bulk.
This reality means, every single major manufactured goods exporter/importer will keep Israel on okay to good political terms and every single country that wants to be the boss of the world. will keep Israel as its pet, because its far cheaper to keep sponsoring a rule of law nation that shares the same moholla as the crackpot with the most important canal in the world as a power check, than invading Egypt and setting up a Suez Canal free zone ruled by the world/UN/big-boss murrica (or China next, whomever is big boss).
For the day Israel stops existing, Egypt pulls a pure Afghanistan/Yemen on the world and Suez becomes a very hostile no-go zone and most of Europe & Asia suffer and also the guy who wants to play boss of the world suffers (whether that guy is in Eurasia or rim continents is irrelevant) . Because they know, that once there is no 'powercheck threat of Israeli invasion' , the cost of invasion by big boss thousands of kms away and holding land long term while being so far blows up astronomically and we are looking at 100-200 bil per year to maintain such an invasion/base around 200km of land that is Suez.
As such, those who want to be 'rid of israel', there is only ONE logical recourse : Turn Egypt into a non-muslim vibrant rule of law democracy. Doesnt matter if its corrupt and slow moving like India or efficient and fancy like japan or switzerland. But make rule of law nation, where long term corporations & traders have confidence that your court-kacheri will be precedence based rule of law over the last 50-100+ years etc and your military wont just come in marching one day and shoot all the judges and tell them what the new law and procedure is.
