So this is probably one of the most impressive operations that Israel had since the foundation of the state

1948 and definitely the most impressive operation that we have seen since the beginning of the war.

And if we talk about Israel restoring

deterrence in the region there is no doubt of these videos of Hezbollah

operatives being hit simultaneously everywhere in Lebanon and in Syria,

an emergency rooms in Lebanon overflowing with young men who are Hezbollah operatives

who have just been hit by Israel. This is 3..m. on Wednesday, September 18th in Israel

as Israelis transition to a new day. We have been in the midst of our special series on

calling me back as we approach the one year, the grim one year anniversary of

October 7th in which we're having a series of conversations

with various thought leaders reflecting on the past year and the year ahead.

We started with Douglas Murray.

The episode we just dropped yesterday was with Sam Harris. I highly encourage those who have

not yet listened to the Sam Harris conversation to listen to it and we will be dropping

those kinds of conversations every week as I said leading up to

October 7th. We did not plan to interrupt the series with news and analysis about

breaking news developments but no one warned us that 3,000 members of

Hezbollah today would have telecom IT problems which interrupted their day and

therefore is interrupting our day and to help us

understand this interruption we are joined by our longtime friend and regular on this podcast, Nadao Yiddioa Nodov ael from Yidiot Achernut.

Nodav, thanks for being here.

Thanks for having me, Dan.
