Senior security officials claim that there is a possibility that the Lebanese army is assisting Hezbollah. According to estimates, many of the soldiers serving in the Lebanese army are Shiites.
The same sources note that there is a suspicion in Israel that the Lebanese army is misleading the Americans, hiding information and not providing accurate reports on its operations against Hezbollah.
According to them, the army's disarmament activities are very limited, and it creates a false impression of an apparently determined enforcement of the ceasefire agreement.
According to them, Israel has been forced to increase its attacks in Lebanon in recent weeks to curb Hezbollah's military buildup, but these actions are still not enough. A senior security official said: "We are very close to a large-scale IDF operation in Lebanon to reduce Hezbollah's military strength, and are awaiting the decision of the political echelon."
