Analysis of Hezbollah's Military Position

There is

In the adversary system's logic, in my view, he is a leader

with extensive experience who has taken a very hard blow

from the cumulative way Hezbollah has been hit over the past

year, especially what happened this past week.

He very, very much does not want an all-out war, and here there may be

a convergence of interests with the Israeli logic that we

understand: mutual deterrence, where neither side wants a war

on a full scale because of its heavy cost. We rather

got drawn into this event because he decided to open a campaign on the eighth

of the month, yet I still think that in the situation

that has arisen, it is right

to build on the military achievement

in Lebanon without reaching

an all-out war.

Let me sum up what you're saying. The current weakness of

Hezbollah can be exploited, not necessarily

to start a war whose outcome is uncertain, but rather to press,

to push toward an arrangement, and then Gaza and Lebanon can also be linked

into

an arrangement.

Yes, but the arrangement needs to come from a position of strength

that ultimately brings about the removal of

the Radwan Force and the forces that immediately threatened the border to a distance of

Ten or more kilometers. Changing UNIFIL's mandate,

so it has a much more robust mandate to deploy the Lebanese Army in the south

and double or triple the size of the IDF force

that will defend the northern communities

in the coming years,

and imposing an arms embargo, which is part of

Resolution 1701.
