Hezbollah’s terror army will rebuild-Israel’s test lies in first breach – Commentary: As Lebanon cease-fire nears, questions linger: Will Hezbollah bypass restrictions, and can the enforcement mechanism deliver? IDF braces for border test that could turn the deal into a real solution—or a repeat of failed Resolution 1701 | ynetnews
The original UN Resolution 1701, adopted by the UN Security Council at the end of the 2006 Lebanon War, was a strong agreement from Israel’s perspective. The problem was that none of the parties responsible for enforcing it on the ground actually did so.
Successive Israeli governments, while seeking quiet, turned a blind eye to Hezbollah’s gradual entrenchment in southern Lebanon. Even as the terror group began launching rockets and stoking border tensions, Israel refrained from responding and certainly did not enforce the resolution on the Lebanese side.
