Hezbollah attacked Israel in support of Gaza only to give up after a peace agreement with Israel?
It looks like Hezbollah gave up, but it didnt, and definitely not seriously or massively- Hezbollah choose "temporary peace" with Israel out of a consciousness of all the factors and dynamics at play (especially the domestic Lebanese situation) while it was at war with Israel.
This does not make sense.
it does, if you open your mind and not look at this conflict from a simplistic black or white way of looking at things.
Hezbollah gave up after suffering heavy losses in clashes with IDF.
hezbollah didnt give up. yes it was a bit damaged, but it was still firing rockets and drones at Israel until the last day before the ceasefire and Israel failed to stop rocket fire by Hezbollah and was only able to do so by ALSO signing the ceasefire.
If Hezbollah gave up, why did Israel ALSO sign the peace treaty with Hezbollah? at worst, both parties realized they wanted to destroy each other but realistically couldn't? You are conveniently ignoring the fact that Israel also willingly signed onto the peace deal with Hezbollah- that confirmed Israel surely didnt have the capacity to destroy Hezbollah (Israel hasnt been able to destroy smaller and less resourcecd that Hezbollah).
There was an agreement between Israel and Lebanon proper that led to reduced footprint of both the IDF and Hezbollah in South Lebanon.
Which Israel has been violating...which exposed the Lebanese govt as a US lackey (Jolani's Lebanese democratic/suite wearing variant), which is also cheating, that exposes that Israel cann't disadvantage or achieve goals in south Lebanon when Hezbollah is free to act militarily against it.
The IDF still have
limited presence in South Lebanon and attack Hezbollah elements
Ok
. See
this,
this,
this, and
this. Hezbollah is virtually crippled and unable to respond effectively.
Hezbollah's silence =/= Hezbollah being crippled.
That's a simplistic understanding of what is going on between Lebanon and Israel. Israel did some damage to Hezbollah and hit some of its manpower and military resources, but its too still standing and far from destroyed- its well built out, has a committed and large base for support and to recruit from, has strong long term support from Iran (esp. military tech and hardware) etc.
The Lebanese central state is taking charge of different matters in the country slowly.
Taking charge in words and reputation, but not really- Israel has over 2000 violations of Lebanon's sovereighty and territory, and the Lebanonese govt has done little against it. The Lebanese state doesn't have enough respect and reputation in south Lebanon to earn more trust than Hezbollah in the eyes of Lebanese living there.
Ok, the Lebanese govt got more authority- what has it done with it? already conditioned Israel to attack Lebanon more because of lack of action against Israeli attacks against Lebanon. But Hezbollah wont be silent for too long. and if you think Hezbollah is quiet because Israel destroyed it- thats propaganda and Israeli bias, and proves a lack of understanding of the intricacies of this regional conflict in the ME.
