Backtracking under the pretext of modesty!
The wolf's dreams have no limits, and his open appetite for pursuing prey has no restrictions, as long as he smells the scent of weakness wrapped in threats and promises to respond at the appropriate time and place, which he is accustomed to hearing, and is delighted by its bell and the calmness of its rhythm. He is the one who knows best the parsing position of that parenthetical sentence, in the text of the reactions of the targeted countries and entities, and it is usually "uninflected."
An Israeli source says: "Israel's goals are limited, its steps in the south are few, and it has no intention of expanding the scope of the war." This retreat comes after several attempts, in which the blades of the elite forces were broken within the first hundred meters in southern Lebanon, and in which they suffered heavy losses. These are the forces that Netanyahu pushed to fulfill the offer that he received from the largest ally to change the features of the Middle East, and draw a new one in which Israel has the upper hand.
With this stumble, the message was delivered, and the arrows bounced back after failing to hit their targets.
With the depth of his strikes, the ceilings of his demands rise, and with the size of the advance of his tank tracks, the desires for control and expansion of his dreams expand.
If tanks had been able to advance into the cities, villages and towns of southern Lebanon, we would have witnessed scenes of brutality similar to those that occurred in the Gaza Strip, where children, women, young people and the elderly were gathered in squares, piled into trucks, and taken handcuffed, blindfolded and half-naked to the interrogation, torture and field execution cells by the hundreds.
The narrative of the limited goal is deceptive, and behind it are two goals. On the one hand, it preserves a path of retreat for him from expected failures that contradict his dreams of expansion and arrogance, and allows him a safe escape from the failure inherent in repeating the experience that brings to mind the tank massacre in Wadi al-Hujayr in 2006. On the other hand, through it, he sends a reassuring message to anxious countries, about the limitations of his ambitions, and that he is working to tie his stomach to curb his open appetite for swallowing more lands, if they open like a magic carpet under the tracks of his tanks, to reach Beirut as Sharon reached it before, and after that Tehran, to which he will direct counter-strikes on its painful strikes.
The wolf is trying to penetrate southern Lebanon with its eyes on Iran, and the coming days will determine the extent of action and reaction in a series of heated debates laden with fire and laden with the harbingers of destruction.
