thanks!

like a boa constrictor would a rodent that it has wrapped itself around on the jungle floor

[Your boomer readership is going to go off like a frog in a sock when they read this - calling the IDF a predator, calling the ME a jungle...]

, an assumption that has been shown to be correct --> , a predictable followup that has now been realized.

[it was a conclusion inferred from the indicator, not an assumption]

Al, Ridwan, Hezbollah’s special forces, --> Al-Ridwan (Hezbollah’s special forces)

[I initially thought you need an 'and' somewhere in here, OR - as turns out to be the case after googling - al-ridwan are the special forces in question. This fix means people dont have to guess as I did if there are one (the H special forces) 2 (al-ridwan and HSF) or three (AL & RIDWAN, & HSF) being referred to. Its beyond the Oxford Comma problem for those of us that are totally igorant of ME militaria! I know its a quote but its punctuationally mangled and doesnt make sense]

state, put --> state, which was put

out, due --> out due
