Operation Northern Shield: a win for Israel

Operation Northern Shield is clearly a victory for Israel in which the IDF thwarted a Hezbollah plan to attack Israelis using tunnels to sneak into the country.

In the wee hours of Tuesday, December 4th, the IDF found a  tunnel built by Hezbollah. It has since found two others and estimates that about 10 such tunnels worming their way into the Jewish State.

And while some pundits may not consider Operation Northern Shield to be an actual "operation" due to the lack of columns of IDF troops marching down the road, it clearly is an operation and it's doing what it was intended to accomplish.

One cannot overestimate what the consequences would have been had these tunnels not been discovered and destroyed. They were to be used by Hezbollah and were large enough to mount a small invasion of elite scumcrumpets into Israel and cut off Metullah and other towns with artillery barrages in the upper Galilee. They were large enough to drive through in a vehicle.

Had Hezbollah been successful, many civilians would have died and the morale of the Jewish State would have been at rock bottom. Imagine the Hezbollah propaganda videos.

But it didn't happen and all the work Hezbollah put into the tunnels was thankfully wasted before becoming operational. And now it's Hezbollah who suffers global embarrassment. [They aren't saying anything, so they must be red faced under their masks.]

Israel is driving a wedge between Hezbollah and the Lebanese population by producing videos for Lebanese consumption. The videos point out Hezbollah's lies and warning that Hezbollah is dragging Lebanon into conflict.

Israel also sent anonymous instant messages to cell phones of the residents of the village of Kilah, where the first tunnel originated: "Hezbollah has dug tunnels near your homes, and that puts you in danger, it's up to you to take caution."

When will it ever end?
