Ceasefire Dynamics in Lebanon

The recent ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah highlights the complexities of the ongoing conflict, which has not yielded significant victories for either side. Hezbollah has faced severe internal challenges, including leadership losses and infiltration by Israeli intelligence, prompting a need for a temporary pause to restructure and regroup. Despite substantial setbacks, Hezbollah proved its resilience by maintaining its military strength and operational capability, defying Israeli expectations of a swift Israeli victory. Conversely, Israel's army has shown signs of fatigue and overextension, leading to an unplanned retreat, underscoring mutual concessions made by both parties in a conflict that remains unresolved.
