    There are reports of large numbers of troops and tanks moving to the border, so it seems like they are really going to do it.

    On paper, Hezbollah still has everything they need to defeat such an invasion. Either the Israeli leadership is fully detached from reality, or they have more cards up their sleeve.

    Also, from what I’ve heard, it sounds like Israel will invade through Syria in an attempt to bypass defenses in Lebanon. But both Hezbollah and Syria have probably been preparing for that for a while now.

      They are fully detached from reality. They have effectively opened up three fronts in the past month.

      Let’s just assume full scale occupation is successful on all fronts, they’ve just welcomed a half dozen legitimate insurgencies that they have no chance of overcomingn in the long run. Zero. They are fucked.
