Israel Risks War With Hezbollah, US Analyst Warns

Former US military intelligence analyst Harrison Mann warned that Israel may initiate a war with Hezbollah to ensure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political survival, as Netanyahu faces corruption charges. Mann, who resigned from the Defence Intelligence Agency over US support for the Gaza war, argued that such a conflict could cause unprecedented casualties in Lebanon and Israel and draw the US into a regional war. He noted that Hezbollah could launch massive rocket attacks overwhelming Israel's defenses, and that an Israeli ground offensive would result in significant casualties. Mann criticized the Dahiya doctrine of bombing residential areas, predicting it would backfire. The Biden administration might become more involved, especially near US elections. Mann's resignation letter on LinkedIn condemned US enabling of killing and starvation of Palestinians. UN humanitarian coordinator Sigrid Kaag highlighted insufficient aid to Gaza, with 1.9 million displaced.
