Retired Israeli General Yitzhak Brick said that the political and military echelons are leading Israel “toward a path of no exit.”
Brick explained that despite the tactical achievements against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel’s strategic situation is deteriorating in terms of security and economy, as well as its relations with the countries of the world.
He added that Hezbollah, despite targeting its weapons and leaders, its missiles continue to destroy every part of northern Israel without stopping.
Brick stressed that the only way for Israel is to reach a prisoner exchange deal and stop the war in the Gaza Strip, in the hope that Hezbollah will stop the fire.
It is noteworthy that since last Monday morning, the Israeli army launched the most violent and extensive attack on Lebanon since the beginning of the confrontations with Hezbollah about a year ago. The bombing resulted in the killing of more than 600 people, including children and women, and the wounding of more than 2,500, while official estimates indicate the displacement of nearly 400,000 people.
In return, Hezbollah launched rocket barrages targeting Israeli military bases and airports and areas in the Galilee, Safed, Haifa and elsewhere, causing material and human losses and the outbreak of fires.
The Israeli occupation army continues its aggression on the Gaza Strip for the 11th consecutive month, which has left 41,495 martyrs, in addition to 96,006 wounded, as well as an unprecedented health and humanitarian crisis.
