Israel conducts effective operations thanks to military and intelligence cooperation. According to Casey Christie, director of Christie and Associates and an expert on international security in Kyiv Postsuch tactics used against Hezbollah could be useful for Ukraine in its fight against Russia.
Christie points out that Ukraine should focus on identifying and targeting key Russian leaders and assetswhich could change the course of the war and force Russia to constantly review its command structure.
This will affect the morale of Russian troops, distracting them from offensive actions. To succeed, Ukraine needs to integrate intelligence with precision strikes. After receiving permission to use Western weapons to attack Russian targets, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to achieve significant success and speed up the end of the war.
Christie notes that the Israeli example demonstrates the importance of intelligence and its rapid transformation into successful operations. It is important for Ukraine to create a system that generates operational data and uses it effectively. He cites the IDF's operation in Lebanon as an example of modern warfare, where intelligence is supported by an organized command structure.
Moreover, Christie concludes that implementing a similar strategy in Ukraine, with an emphasis on targeting key Russian targets and integrating multi-domain operations, could cause chaos among the Russian military and undermine Moscow's overall strategy.
In the context of the IDF operation in Lebanon, Hezbollah elected a new leader in late September, but Israel soon eliminated him. However, Hassan Nasrallah, the former leader of Hezbollah, was also killed in an Israeli airstrike, highlighting the effectiveness of the Israeli strategy. Nasrallah was not only a military leader, but also a religious leader who turned Hezbollah into one of the most powerful forces in the region with the support of Iran.
