Summary
The terrorist group Hezbollah ramped up its attacks on Israel last week to their most intense level since the war began, then resumed them again Tuesday afternoon. If Hezbollah launches an all-out war with Israel, the IDF would respond in a way that would devastate Lebanon as well. Why, then would Hezbollah’s leaders want a war that can only harm the people they claim to serve? And what can the American people learn from this situation?

| 0:00.0 | Greetings. Welcome to the Daily Article podcast for Thursday, June the 20th, |
| 0:06.9 | 2020. I'm Chris Elkins, narrating today's daily article written by Denison Forum co-founder and |
| 0:13.5 | CEO, Dr. Jim Denison. Hezbollah, the Iranian proxy that controls Lebanon, has attacked northern Israel nearly every day since October 8th, when it joined the war in support of Hamas. |
| 0:27.1 | It has fired more than 5,000 rockets, anti-tank missiles, and suicide drones at Israel's border communities. |
| 0:34.1 | More than 20 people have been killed. |
| 0:36.3 | More than 150,000 people have been forced |
| 0:39.3 | from their homes along the border, and damage has been widespread. |
| 0:43.3 | The terrorist group ramped up its attacks last week to their most intense level since the war began, |
| 0:49.3 | then resumed them again Tuesday afternoon. In response, the IDF's Northern Command announced that it approved |
| 0:56.2 | operational plans for a war against Hezbollah. For his part, Hezbollah's secretary general |
| 1:02.1 | Syed Haid Hassan Nasrallah warned Israel in a televised address, quote, |
| 1:07.4 | There will be no place safe from our missiles and our drones in the event of a broader war. |
| 1:12.2 | Why is this intensifying conflict making global headlines? |
| 1:15.6 | A former IDF spokesman called Hezbollah, quote, |
| 1:18.7 | the crown jewel in the Iranian Empire of Terror, adding that it is by far the most powerful Iranian proxy |
| 1:25.9 | equipped with nation-state capabilities and with more firepower |
| 1:30.0 | than several European militaries have today. He notes that the group is far more powerful than |
| 1:36.1 | Hamas across the board in every military metric. In quotes, I had lunch this week with a dear friend |
| 1:42.0 | visiting from Israel. He explained that Hezbollah's latest |
| 1:44.9 | attacks are especially dangerous since many utilized drones that are able to fly beneath the |
| 1:50.2 | radar used by Israel's Iron Dome defense systems. They can evade Israel's early warning systems |
| 1:56.4 | and can be guided to civilian targets to inflict the maximum number of casualties and damage. |
