Israel's actions against Hezbollah go beyond simply targeting its commanders; they are dismantling the trust between the group and its surrounding community, which has always believed they were safeguarded by a highly professional military and security apparatus.

This isn’t anymore a limited confrontation, it’s complex and multilayered war that involves technology, psychological warfare, military attacks, and clandestine operations, all without any sort of redlines. The rules of engagement are gradually vanishing.
Hezbollah’s strive to keep the conflict within certain parameters is coming with a high cost for them. The argument from their side is that whatever the cost should be, the war should be kept within the ceilings of the “support front”, but Israel is putting heavy pressure on Hezbollah to go beyond its own objectives.
What Hezbollah’s leader said yesterday about the broad objectives, mainly linking the front in Lebanon to the war in Gaza, along with Israel’s mandate to bring back its people to the north, is becoming today the core of this confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah.
Long story short, Israel wants Hezbollah to go to war, Hezbollah is trying to maintain its original plan to keep away from a total confrontation.
