Officials Warn Hezbollah Can Still Rearm Despite Lebanon Deal

JPost reported at 18:49 IDT, updated at 18:50, that Israeli officials fear Iran-backed Hezbollah could still rearm despite the new Israel-Lebanon framework. The report said Syrian smuggling routes and industrial production have been badly reduced, but porous Lebanese-Syrian networks, Iranian money and a remaining rocket and FPV drone base still require an extended interdiction campaign. AP and Reuters-carried reporting frame the deal around Hezbollah disarmament, JNS reported IDF finds of Hezbollah rockets and mortars in south Lebanon, and Soufan said Iran sees a ceasefire as a chance for Hezbollah to regroup. Israel should welcome diplomatic leverage only if enforcement keeps Hezbollah from rebuilding against northern communities.
