The ceasefire is an obvious relief to many and reveals three major achievements from Israel's devastating response to Hezbollah, but it could also signal the start of a more intense conflict with Iran.
The ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah is an obvious relief to the Lebanese people and most likely to both Hezbollah and Iran.
There are three major things Israel has achieved with its devastating response to the Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks that have pulled Lebanon into the Gaza war.Suburban areas of Beirut have been hit by waves of Israeli air strikes, according to Lebanon's state media and health ministry.The damage to Hezbollah's facilities in southern Beirut is hard to independently quantify, but the group is believed to have suffered enormous losses in both weapons supply and production capacity.
It's hard to say how much its political power in Lebanon has been diminished, but the group is far from what it was before the war.This major win undermines a key strategy of the Iranian-backed groups around the region, something beloved of the late Nasrallah, called the "unity of fronts" approach. But ultimately, it provoked a war that saw hundreds of thousands of Lebanese displaced, large parts of southern Lebanon, Beirut and the Bekaa Valley destroyed and more than 3,500 Lebanese killed, without influencing events in Gaza.
