Military Expert: Three Axes Reveal the True Aims of Israeli Operations in Lebanon
A military expert argues that the Israeli operations in Lebanon prioritize media and financial institutions over military targets, suggesting ulterior motives.
Military expert and strategist Brigadier General Hassan Jouni reveals that the timeline of Israeli strikes in Lebanon shows a stark contradiction to the official narrative of the Israeli military. Instead of targeting military sites first, as would be expected in a serious military operation, Israel has opted to strike financial institutions and media outlets like 'Al-Manar' channel. This, according to Jouni, is indicative of a strategy mainly aimed at media narratives rather than genuine military rationale, demonstrating that the Israeli official statements do not reflect a real military logic but serve purely journalistic purposes.
Jouni argues that the immediate military priority in any serious operation should be to neutralize the field capabilities of Hezbollah rather than hitting financial establishments. He highlights the targeting of 'Qard al-Hassan' institution and Al-Manar as clear indications that the Israeli army is invoking narratives to justify operations fundamentally aimed at residential buildings under the pretext of targeting alleged weapon storage facilities.
In his military analysis, Jouni outlines a three-dimensional picture of Israeli operational conduct in Lebanon, which includes the systematic assassinations of Hezbollah leaders whenever security conditions allow, targeted strikes on financial and media structures, and the initiation of a significant displacement wave through evacuation orders. This strategic overview poses critical questions about the real objectives behind Israel's military actions in Lebanon and their implications for regional stability and security.
