GlobeAlert Desk · curated from Long War Journal · Middle East

As Israeli forces pushed from the outskirts of Ali al Taher Ridge into its underground network, Hezbollah repeatedly revised what counted as a success for the group—from denying Israeli entry to portraying the loss of the position as an attritional achievement. The post How Hezbollah reframed the battle for Ali al Taher as Israel advanced appeared first on FDD's Long War Journal.
