Hezbollah needs "at least two years" to rebuild the capabilities it lost in the war with Israel which is why it is holding fire now, according to a leading intelligence expert. In skirmishes following the cease-fire, Israeli soldiers killed more than 20 Hezbollah guerrillas.
In the past such incidents could have led to a flare-up, but this time "they don't want to renew the fire... mainly because they understand the situation on the ground," Maj. Gen. in the reserves Yaakov Amidror told foreign diplomats at a Wednesday briefing organized by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
