Episode notes
Scale Of Ceasefire Violations
- UNIFIL recorded over 10,000 ceasefire violations, mostly Israeli airspace incursions and ground breaches.
- These violations have caused repeated strikes and at least 100 civilian deaths since the 2024 ceasefire.
Hezbollah's Reduced Reconstitution Ability
- Hezbollah's military capacity in southern Lebanon is diminished after leadership losses and destroyed caches.
- Reduced Iranian and Syrian supply lines and economic strain have limited Hezbollah's ability to rearm.
Regional Supply Lines Shrank
- Syria's collapse and loss of a conduit for Iranian weapons hindered Hezbollah resupply.
- Iran's own economic and military pressures further curtailed weapons flows to Lebanon.
