Maybe Israel will soon use ground troops against Hezbollah? The US and China already sent notices for citizens to evacuate Lebanon.

Haifa is the second largest city of Israel and the largest in the north. It being continued fire will have huge economic ramifications. It’s where Israel’s largest port is located. And it’s a major industrial and economic hub. The city being under constant fire will worsen Israel’s economic crisis.
When I said settlers will leave it’s because you have to look at how fickle Israeli society is. If Haifa and south of Haifa stays under rocket,missile and drone fire it’s going to make thes towns unlivable. Israel society cannot handle dealing with hearing constant sirens blaring. It likes to portray its self as a first world country like Western European and North American nations. Those with means will go to other cities like Ashdod or Tel Aviv. According to Israelis themselves about 40-50% of the populace of the north have fled to other areas in Israel. The remaining 60% are staying with the hopes of a ground military operation. However if nothing is done they have said they’ll leave the north too. Same thing will apply for Haifa. The first people to leave will be the wealthy and upper middle class. Which will worsen the economic situation. Many Israelis have multiple passports.

This also puts a lot of pressure on the govt to do something. They are in a damn if they do damned if they don’t. What Hezbollah has done the last 11 months in the past would have had Israel start a full scale war. But now they are deterred. Netanyahu is facing a lot of pushback from the military about a war with Hezbollah. The rational ones have came out saying that if they are struggling against Hamas in Gaza then they will suffer horrifically against Hezbollah who is much larger, with more advanced and lethal weaponry. The way I’m seeing this situation Israel May start the ground war soon. And it’s not a military decision but a political for Netanyahu to stay in power longer,sabotage the US elections for Trump to win, hide the failures of the Gaza ground war and appease the pressure he is feeling from the northern settlers. Weeks ago I thought they wouldn’t be stupid to go for a full scale war but now with the rhetoric and the one year anniversary of October 7 coming it may happen.

I don't think it would have helped had Hezb sourced its electronics entirely from China. I'm hearing that the pager shipment was held up in Jordanian customs for three months and it's likely this is where the tampering happened. Obviously, if Israel has access to a warehouse with Hezbollah's goods for months on end, it wouldn't matter where they came from.

If so, it's strange that these goods passed through Jordan at all. They should have gone from Iran through Iraq and Syria to Lebanon. Why pass them through a country everybody knows cooperates closely with Israel? Nobody raised the alarm when they were held up for three months?

The deeper problem than these goods' origin is the fact that Iran is deeply infiltrated by Israel, it's more shot through than a sieve. Remember the days when Israel would kill an Iranian nuclear scientist every month? Hell, they blew up that Hamas leader while he was in Iran. That society is compromised to a shocking degree.

It still required the cooperation of the manufacturer to design the device as to enable it to be implanted with enough explosives and fragments for it to be deadly. As reported, Hezbollah dismantled some unexploded devices and discovered compartment that was used for the purpose.
The Taiwanese manufacturer ,however, did not explain, because they are not making any more public announcements.

Missing a few hundred years of gaps there, mate, and the fact that any Jewish state doesn't seem to make it past 80 something years. The Greeks, Romans, Persians are still around, too, by the way.

You aren't special.
