Hezbollah's Ten Days of Repentance

Yinon Magal summarizes the ten days between September 17 and 27, during which the IDF carried out a series of military operations against Hezbollah: exploding pagers and communication devices, destroying missiles, attacking headquarters, and eliminating Hassan Nasrallah by dropping 80 tons on the bunker. Magal compares the operation to Operation Focus and describes it as historic and unprecedented, while harshly criticizing the commentators in the studios who did not understand the magnitude of the move in real time.

Yinon Magal summarizes on Channel 14 the ten days between September 17 and 27, during which the IDF carried out a series of military operations against Hezbollah. The move began on September 17 at 3:30 PM with the explosion of pagers, and continued with attacks on communication devices, destruction of missiles, and strikes on the organization's headquarters and general staff. The peak came on September 27, when the IDF dropped 80 tons on the bunker where Hassan Nasrallah was staying. Magal calls the operation "crazy," "unprecedented," and "historic," and compares it to Operation Focus in the Six-Day War, and perhaps even beyond. Most of the column is devoted to harsh criticism of the commentators in the studios, whom he calls "channels of panic, poison, propaganda, despair, gloom, surrender, weakness, and helplessness." He quotes Raviv Drucker, Dana Weiss, Amos Gilad, Israel Ziv, and Nir Dvori, who asked about the strategy and meaning of the actions in real time, while according to him a historic move was unfolding before their eyes. Magal calls for establishing a museum in memory of the Israeli media, where these clips will be displayed as proof of the gap between the reality on the ground and the way it was presented in the studios.
