Israel unable to destroy Hezbollah's drones with military force, needs political edge

IDF soldiers are operating in southern Lebanon, taking various measures to minimize attacks, including deploying anti-explosive drone barbed wire and supplying it to the Lebanese army. Israel's defense establishment estimates that a true solution to end the northern threat is not currently in sight, requiring a political breakthrough alongside prolonged military deterrence. The IDF has struck nearly 100 Hezbollah targets, including observation posts, terror infrastructure, and a weapons storage facility, and successfully intercepted two Hezbollah drones.
