An Israeli operation against Hezbollah that finishes what it began in the 2024 war is only a matter of time. The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which was signed on Nov. 27, 2024, was not a mere truce that ended a round of escalation between the two sides. It was a turning point that effectively paralyzed Hezbollah.
