Analysis: Israel can't defeat Hezbollah

A Middle East Eye analysis examines why Israel has been unable to defeat Hezbollah despite ongoing hostilities. The report argues Hezbollah has successfully rebuilt its military capabilities and remains capable of heavily targeting northern Israeli cities while complicating Israeli troop advances in Lebanon. The clearest indicator of Israel's failure, according to the analysis, is Israel's own assessment that disarming Hezbollah would require a full occupation of Lebanon—a daunting task given Israel's reported shortage of reserve soldiers and exhaustion from prolonged wars. The analysis suggests Hezbollah's resilience continues to pose a significant challenge to Israeli military objectives.
