Israel has once again accused Hezbollah of rearming amid reports suggesting that Syria was easing security on the border with Lebanon.
On November 11, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that Hezbollah is working to rebuild its combat abilities in southern Lebanon to the point of threatening Israel’s security and undoing last year’s ceasefire agreement which was brokered by the United States.
Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, a spokesman for the IDF, told a news briefing that the group was operating south of the Litani River in violation of the ceasefire agreement and that Israeli forces were conducting strikes on Hezbollah targets in that area.
The military spokesman added that the group was also trying to smuggle in weapons from Syria and via other routes to Lebanon.
“We are working to prevent that from happening and to block the ground routes from Syria into Lebanon to a high level of success, but they still pose a threat to us,” Shoshani said. “We are committed to the agreement but it must be held. We will not return to the reality of October 7 (2023) with a threat of thousands of terrorists on our border within walking distance of our civilians.”
Earlier on the same day, the IDF revealed that troops from the 769th “Hiram” Regional Brigade had conducted a raid in southern Lebanon, blewing up several buildings used by Hezbollah, specifically in the town of Houla.
The raid was a clear sign of Israel’s willingness to escalate. Since the start of the month, IDF strikes on Lebanon have killed at least 15 members of Hezbollah.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem warned on November 11 that the ongoing trend of near-daily Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon “cannot continue.”
“Everything has a limit,” Qassem said on Hezbollah’s al-Manar television.
He claimed that the fragile ceasefire agreement with Israel only applies to southern Lebanon, suggesting that disarming Hezbollah and other enforcement mechanisms should not apply to areas north of the Litani River.
He reiterated that Hezbollah will not disarm, defying the Lebanese government’s efforts to collect the group’ weapons which begin in September.
While the latest Israel accusations are meant to escalate Hezbollah, they are also a part of a wider policy aimed at pressuring the new government in Syria.
A report published by I24 News on November 11 accused Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa of easing security on the border with Lebanon. According to the report, this allowed Hezbollah to smuggle more weapons, specifically missiles, through Syria.
Work on a security agreement between Israel and Syria is yet to move forward. Recent Hebrew and Arab media reports reveal an ever growing list of demands by Israel, which is offering Syria very much nothing in exchange.
The IDF wants to keep the positions it occupied in southern Syria last year following the fall of the regime of former President Bashar al-Assad, including the strategic Mount Hermon peak. In addition, Israel is demanding the complete demilitarization of the region.
In an interview with the Washington Post that was published on the same day, Sharaa appeared to be deeply frustrated with Israel.
“The advances that Israel made into Syria are not coming from [their] security concerns but are coming from their expansionist ambitions,” Sharaa said. “Israel has always claimed that it has concerns about Syria because it is afraid of the threats that the Iranian militias and [Lebanon’s] Hezbollah represent. We are the ones who expelled those forces out of Syria.”
In order to reach an agreement in negotiations with Israel, Sharaa added, “Israel should withdraw to their pre-December 8 borders.”
On the topic of the demilitarization of southern Syrian, Sharaa responded that if demilitarized, protecting the area would cause issues with responsibility for its defense, “because if there is any kind of chaos, who will protect it?”
“If this demilitarized zone was used by some parties as a launching pad for hitting Israel, who is going to be responsible for that?” he said. “And at the end of the day, this is Syrian territory, and Syria should have the freedom of dealing with their own territory.”
While both Hezbollah and Syria are facing increasing pressure by Israel, a rapprochement between the two remains close to impossible.
In fact, if Sharaa attempts to move in this direction, or just continues to turn a blind eye to Hezbollah’s activities on the border, Israel will likely use this as an excuse to do something in Syria. A security agreement will likely change nothing. It would only legitimize any future IDF operations in the country.

putin’s treacherous russia has made it impossible for hezbollah to rearm. that’s why hezbollah is arming itself only in netanyahu’s crazy head and nowhere else.
the same khazarian lunatic is putler, who shot down the turkish plane. congratulations, you were right only a year too late. another traitor to syria has now discovered that they are going to evacuate tehran because the water has run out. there is no water in iran.
pezeshkian betrayed alawitess and he speak on the territorial integrity of syria, i suggest treacherous and dirty traidorous pezeshkian ask putler to deliver you vodka. and if you, pezeshkian, were able to betray the alawites this march and leave them to hts and pretend to be saudi arabia friend, i suggest that instead of water, your russian friends, if they are really your friends, deliver ice from the arctic in to teheran.
careful mr dead man walking how you talk to israel. they made you and can break you. stop sounding like assad, saying syria this, syria that and syrian territory. that’s treason to your masters. didn’t trump explain all this to you?
putler killed prigozhin and utkin, netanyahu killed nasrallah and trump killed soleimani. little satan lesser satan and great satan have proven their evil.i’m surprised the russians aren’t ashamed and haven’t removed putler yet.
are there nobody in the region that understand that the khazarian nazis, jew imposters, must get destroyed ? else they will do as mr putin, prefer to extinct a people, instead of harm the root causes. blow kiew, tel aviv and washington from the surface. but all you use einsteins hoax for, are to kill the serfs 🤡
root causes 😂 they hide behind several “pacifist” jews, one suicidal, one allegedly burned hiroshima and nagasaki. in reality, the snakes wanted to rule humanity for ever and ever 😂 south park should do something with mr putins “root causes”, they have success with the hopefully last joke by the devil in “us”.
a jew was born from a jewish woman, and neither russians nor ukrainians are smart enough to repeat the hero gavrilo princip. only the assassination of putler could save russia from destruction, and nothing else.
fact : pressure couscous cookers are weapons of mass destruction. the vile goyim intend to use it to kill 6 decazillions jews.
the israelis are lying, the roads are cut off and hts is on israel’s side.
the paranoid netanyahu thinks he’s smart but in reality he’s crazy and if peace and honesty are lucky the turks will destroy his friend putler. but i know that the democrats will take care of the criminal trump, because so much financial fraud and that financial bubble with artificial intelligence that germany is investing in under merz will result in both merz and trump being in prison in four years.
this is netanyahu’s lie, hezbollah’s logistical links were destroyed due to russia’s betrayal of syria. the only truth is that hts will go looking for shiites in lebanon at any time. and the jewish khazarian state of russia is to blame.

rif dimashq province: sohr activists have reported growing tension between the syrian army and lebanese army in ras al-maarrah area on the syria-lebanon border, amid military mobilizations by the two sides.
this came after members of a syrian patrol had prevented vehicles of the lebanese army from crossing into wadi al-thalagat area in the barren mountains in feletah town, before syrian forces advanced towards lebanese military barracks in syrian territory, adjacent to the lebanese town of arsal.
syria, when you play with thugs you will be abused.
usil invaders so brazen! 1) they’re litteraly blaming their victims for not dying as silent sitting ducks while usil keeps bombing and murdering with thousands of usil breaches of ceasefires deals with lebanon and gaza. also usil had to leave lebanon soil 2) usil continues the genocide which was the reason hezbollah intervened. usil kills hundreds and demolishes over 1500 buildings ≠ ceasefire!
