Hezbollah not defeated, not close to being defeated: Israeli media
Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth underlines that Hezbollah was not close to being defeated in the north as settlers clamor about losing. | Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth has described the recent ceasefire agreement with Lebanon as a "broad implementation of Resolution 1701 under US leadership," while acknowledging the challenges faced by the Israeli occupation during the war. ● In a report, the newspaper stated that critics of the agreement within Israel overlook fundamental realities, particularly that "Hezbollah was not defeated, nor was it close to being defeated." While the group sustained significant blows, it "continued fighting" throughout the conflict, the report noted. ● The article highlighted a prevalent sentiment among Israelis who question why the Israeli occupation's military superiority has not succeeded in creating a new status quo free of threats or in forcing Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah and establish a security buffer zone.
