IDF commanders doubt Lebanon's military will effectively destroy Hezbollah infrastructure
The officers find it hard to believe that the LAF will carry out the framework signed by Jerusalem and Beirut, due to a high percentage of Shiite soldiers who may hold Hezbollah sympathies
Assessment
The concern raised by IDF commanders points to a fundamental structural weakness in the ceasefire arrangement with Lebanon. If the Lebanese Armed Forces cannot reliably act against Hezbollah due to sectarian loyalties among its troops, the entire security framework signed by both countries may be unenforceable. The next phase to watch is whether the LAF leadership can demonstrate any meaningful operational steps to dismantle Hezbollah's military infrastructure, or whether the agreement will effectively collapse.
