Hezbollah leader’s pride blinds to Israeli sentiment

Israel and Hezbollah both underestimated each other, leading to severe consequences. Israel believed it could maintain the status quo with Hamas, while Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, thought he understood Israeli society better than anyone.

However, recent events have proven them wrong. Nasrallah’s confidence in his ability to manipulate Israel through propaganda videos and border maneuvers backfired, leading to severe military action against Hezbollah.

Nasrallah’s misreading of Israeli society, particularly its strength and determination, can be attributed to relying on media headlines and misinterpreting public opinion.

This serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of hubris and the importance of truly understanding one’s enemy before engaging in conflict.
