Chances of war resuming in Lebanon are 50%, some defense officials said to estimate

Some in Israel’s security establishment are estimating the chances of a resumption of the war against Hezbollah in Lebanon at 50%, according to the Ynet news site.

The report says this is one of the reasons the government is yet to call on the tens of thousands of displaced residents of the north to return to their homes.

“The more the rules and their enforcement are clear from the get-go, the better they will hold up later,” the outlet quotes an unnamed IDF officer as saying.
