In September 2024, Israel started a military offensive against the Hisbollah in Lebanon. Hisbollah -friendly quarter were bombed for two months. In addition to military victory, the documentary illuminates the consequences of this “strategy of burned earth”, which carries the risk that the next generation will resonate again.
The examination of Israel’s warfare in Lebanon is also relevant against the background of the current military operations in Iran and Gaza. The film shows how Israel tried and perfected his strategy in the fight against Lebanese Hisbollah, be it in the autumn 2024 or already during the 2006 war. The film analyzes the Israeli military strategy based on reports of affected Lebanese and Israelis on both sides of the border as well as assessments of war law experts.
