YAAKOV KATZ
Back, in the first days after the Hamas attacks on October 7, the Israeli government made a decision not to go to war with Hezbollah. There were a number of considerations on the table at the time and some people were pushing for Hezbollah to be Israel’s target.
The Lebanese terrorist group almost immediately started attacking Israel, and intelligence information later discovered exposed that Hamas and Hezbollah had coordinated their attacks.
More important though was the argument that before taking on Hamas, Israel should first go after its stronger enemy.
For a couple of days there was a true debate about the issue, and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was said to have leaned heavily on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to point the IDF northwards, to Lebanon.
