The Israeli military assesses that its enforcement of the ceasefire with Hezbollah could potentially lead to several days of fighting with the terror group in the future.

The IDF says it will act to prevent any weapon deliveries to the terror group, including by striking such shipments in all areas of Lebanon, and not just in the south of the country, as well as in Syria.

Last night, the IDF struck three border crossings between northern Lebanon and Syria, which the military says were used by Hezbollah to smuggle weapons. The IDF assesses that it will take time to repair the crossings, and during that time, Hezbollah will have limited routes to bring in weapons, which will be easier for Israel to monitor.

The IDF says that if it identifies Hezbollah attempting to rebuild itself in southern Lebanon, it is ready to act, which could potentially deteriorate the situation. If Israel does not act, the IDF says it may find itself in another war with a rebuilt Hezbollah in several years.
