A year ago, Hamas surprised Israel and the world with its devastating attack of October 7th. While Israel was still reeling from the murders and while IDF soldiers were still clearing kibbutzim of Hamas terrorists, Hezbollah decided to join the fray.
For the last year, they have launched near daily cross-border attacks, targeting civilians and forcing some 60,000 people to leave their homes in Northern Israel.
America, who has spent the last year trying to curtail Israel's efforts to defend itself, tried desperately to stop Hezbollah from its continued attacks. Israel launched a series of counter strikes but even this didn't deter Hezbollah. In August, they targeted a soccer field one Saturday afternoon and murdered 12 innocent Druze kids.
Israel has finally had enough of the destruction and the carnage and recently launched a ground invasion into Southern Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah's weapons and infrastructure, and to try to get them to move away from the Litani River, as per their 2006 agreement.
Hezbollah is limping along after Israel successfully assassinated Nasrallah and just weeks before, killed and maimed hundreds of their operatives in a bold and daring pager explosion attack.
Just a few short days after the beginning of Israel's ground invasion, Hezbollah is now begging for a ceasefire, and they have said that they will not condition it on Israel's leaving Gaza.
