Sources close to Hezbollah acknowledge that the ceasefire in Gaza will inevitably lead to a halt in military operations on the Lebanese-Israeli border. Hezbollah would therefore be working to limit complaints and feelings of discontent within its community and among its ranks, which have suffered considerable human and material losses, estimated at over a billion dollars, according to some reports.

As a result, southerners close to the pro-Iranian formation are said to be increasingly furious, especially since journalists have been banned from visiting the southern border, reporting the true extent of the damage and taking photographs. Members of the press are therefore forced to stay in their headquarters in Nabatiyeh and move only within the perimeters imposed on them.
