The expert in Israeli affairs, Abdullah Al-Sawalha, confirmed in his interview with Sky News Arabia that the real goal of the ground attack is to eliminate Hezbollah once and for all.
Al-Sawalha said: “The declared goal of the ground operation is to return the population to the north, but Israel I set another implicit, undeclared goal, which is to dismantle Hezbollah’s capabilities. Officially, there is no goal of dismantling Hezbollah, but it is an implicit goal.”
He stressed that the operation would not be “limited” as announced, and “after the killing of some Israeli army soldiers, the army will expand the operation significantly to protect ground entry.”

The researcher at the Emirates Policy Center, Muhammad Al-Zaghoul, spoke about the difficulty of Israel’s mission to completely eliminate the party.
Al-Zaghoul said: “Destroying Hezbollah’s capabilities and disarming Hezbollah is an idea that cannot be achieved for Israel, because it needs something greater than Israel.”
