Israel strikes back: Long overdue action against Hezbollah's threats


Israel strikes back: Long overdue action against Hezbollah's threats - editorial



After years of constant provocations, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have finally responded with decisive action against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

For too long, we’ve been on the receiving end of aggression, with rockets launched indiscriminately at our towns and strategic threats looming over our borders. Now, after numerous warnings and international appeals, the moment has come for Israel to defend itself without apology. It’s about time.

Let’s be clear: this response is not just justified; it’s long overdue. Imagine if Mexico took over parts of California or launched missiles into Texas – would the United States react any differently? Of course not.


No sovereign nation can stand idle while its citizens are targeted and its security is undermined. Israel is no exception, and as a nation, we are standing up for our right to live in peace, free from the shadow of terror.

Yet, while this moment is a necessary and bold step, we must all be prepared for what lies ahead. This is not a simple tit-for-tat exchange or a minor flare-up; it’s a significant escalation that could bring real challenges to our doorstep.



Hezbollah is not a minor adversary – they are a well-armed, well-funded terrorist organization backed by Iran, and they have spent years preparing for this confrontation. We know their tactics: hiding weapons in civilian areas, using human shields, and spreading disinformation to paint Israel as the aggressor. But make no mistake; Hezbollah’s aim is clear: to disrupt our lives, instill fear, and, if possible, inflict real damage on the heart of our nation.


 Long-range missiles may soon target buildings in the center of Israel, a scenario we have not faced since the Gulf War. Sirens may become a regular occurrence, and the comfort of normalcy might feel distant.
