Amid Hezbollah rocket fire, 'Israel' unable to fulfill main goal
"Israel" has failed to eliminate Hezbollah’s short-range rockets, which continue to target northern occupied Palestine, hampering Israeli attempts to secure the region and allow settlers to return to their settlements, US officials indicated as reported by The New York Times.
The report notes that as long as the rocket attacks persist, "Israel's" attempted invasion of Lebanon cannot achieve its primary objective of securing northern "Israel".
The report further highlights that this ongoing threat has increased pressure on the Israeli occupation government to consider a ceasefire or at least temporarily halt the war on Lebanon.
Additionally, US officials, cited in the report, mention that Hezbollah has not yet fully deployed an estimated 20,000 to 40,000 of its fighters, raising concerns that the Resistance may be preparing for a prolonged war of attrition, particularly in South Lebanon.
In light of these developments, The New York Times report indicates that US intelligence agencies assess that a ceasefire agreement is the most viable option for allowing Israeli settlers to return to their settlements close to the Lebanese border.
