Israeli campaign in Lebanon seeks to 'degrade' Hezbollah’s rocket, drone and missile capabilities

As Israel expands its military operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Dr. Raz ZIMMT, Director of the Iran and Shiite Axis program at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS). According to Dr ZIMMT, Israel’s objectives are based on a more limited but long-term and consequential aim: permanently degrading the military capabilities of Iran and its regional proxies. Ultimately, the success of the campaigns will depend not only on military outcomes but also on internal and regional political developments.
