IDF Assessment: Hezbollah Struggling to Carry Out Attacks; Security Officials Say Fighting May Continue Another Month
The IDF has identified a growing difficulty among Hezbollah operatives in executing terror attacks in the northern arena, according to a report aired Monday on I24.
Military officials say the terror group is increasingly failing in multiple attempts to carry out operations, reflecting a broader weakening of its operational capabilities.
At the same time, security sources estimate that the campaign is far from over and could continue for at least another month.
About a week ago, reports emerged of Lebanese civilians openly opposing Hezbollah, with some declaring that they are already looking ahead to peace with Israel.
Since the outbreak of the war, thousands of civilians in Lebanon have been displaced within their own country, and many believe that a lasting solution will only come through peace.
On the diplomatic front, Lebanese Prime Minister Salam said in an interview with the Saudi network Al-Hadath that he is not afraid of pressure or coercion from Hezbollah and that efforts are underway to accelerate negotiations.
Others in Lebanon point to the fact that several Arab countries already maintain diplomatic ties with Israel, viewing that path as a way to improve their own situation.
For now, until a structured plan is put forward for direct negotiations with Lebanon, public sentiment in the country regarding the question of peace with Israel appears to be shifting in a more favorable direction with each passing day.
