#1 There will be a spike in activity by Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi and then the new normal graph of jihadi hijinks will be at a much lower value.

#2 /\ Probably a very accurate assessment.

#3 Is this like when Netanyahu went on Fox and swore that Iran was about to develop an ICBM with an 8000km range that could reach CONUS.
And we needed to start a new war with Iran right now.
Well, I guess that's true about the ICBM.
I can see no other reason a president that was elected with a democratic mandate of "no to war" suddenly starts a new war.
Either that or some crazy conspiracy theories about secret control of the US government by foreign forces are true, covid came from a lab or Hollywood elites rape minors on an island somewhere.

#4 if Iran had fired a 150 missile barrage on Israel on Oct 7 after the Hamas invasion and if Hezbollah had also sent a landside invasion and aerial bombardment, it would have been touch and go for a while.

For some reason they didn't. Might find out someday.

#5 Hamas jumped the gun again without their allies, Lord Garth, and nobody was ready for it.

I think it was a few months earlier — some time after Israel had found and blocked Hamas’s cross-border tunnels into Israel — that Israel had found Hezbollah’s tunnels under the border, and called the UNIFIL commanders over to watch with them as whatever the IDF had pumped in poured out down the Lebanese hillside and hardened. I seem to recall it came out bright pink, but I may be misremembering… We have the story with video somewhere in the Rantburg archives.

So Hezbollah going through the border fence would have been possible, but the morale-breaking surprise of appearing halfway down the hillside on the Israeli side had been stolen from them.
