People memed the phrase “De-escalation through Escalation” that the IDF said, but there is truth in it. A better way to say it is “De-escalation through Deterrance”
People think Terrorism is like a Hydra that easily regrows the heads cut off but its really not. Every leader lost is a measurable impact on the organization that can’t be easily gained. And by targetting a group through multiple decapitation strikes, the survivors are going to be a shell of their former glory and absolutely terrified of committing another attack on the same scale.
The multiple decapitation strikes the IDF did have rendered Hezbollah to the same group as Al Qaeda or ISIS. They may still survive and endure, but they will be a shadow of what they once were.
