Saudi academic: 'Latest Israel-Hezbollah military exchanges a 'rehearsed, staged scenario' - English Subs

Saudi academic Abd al-Rahman al-Anad recently told Saudi television that the latest military exchanges between Israel & Hezbollah were clearly a rehearsed, prewritten scenario agreed upon by both sides, and was designed to ‘save Hezbollah’s face’.

Hezbollah launched a cross-border raid earlier this month which targeted an Israeli army vehicle with anti-tank missiles, following an Israeli air raid a week earlier that killed two Hezbollah members in Syria.

The cross-border raid by Hezbollah, which was carried out deep within Israeli-controlled territory, also came after an Israeli drone attack on southern Beirut which saw the deployed aircraft crashing into the Lebanese movement’s media offices.
