The IDF tries to prevent a confrontation with Hezbollah at all costs, but continues to pay for the loss of deterrence
For the second time in a month, a squad of terrorists tried to hit soldiers from Lebanese territory, but it seems that the Northern Command is leading the desire to contain the organization's operations and prevent war. Nasrallah saw the IDF's decision not to respond to the incident on Mount Dov as a weakness, and therefore continues to threaten and shape a new balance with Israel.

After hours of uncertainty and fear of a diversion, the Northern Command revealed in the morning the full picture of the security incident at the border. A force of terrorists arrived near the border fence near Menara and tried to hit IDF soldiers and escape under the cover of thick fog. The IDF decided to settle for firing the massive shells that caused the fires in the Lebanese thicket and then attacking Hezbollah positions. There was no desire to degenerate the area into war or days of battle, even though it was the second attempt in less than a month to kill and injure IDF soldiers
. It was a combination of non-explosive shells and lighting from artillery batteries on the border, mostly towards dominating hills. At first it was an action that was performed automatically whenever there was an unusual incident at the border to cause the terrorists to "lower their heads" but after that it was seen as an attempt to intimidate or release pressure.

Hezbollah decided to deny the incident and claim that they have no hand in the matter but promised to roll out an attack in the future. Hezbollah secretary general Hassan Nasrallah repeated his threats and therefore did not need concrete intelligence to continue to maintain vigilance and alertness in the Galilee formation.
During July, a Hezbollah operative in Syria was killed during an airstrike attributed to the air force against arms shipments from Iran to Beirut. Hezbollah threatened to retaliate. wanted to put together an equation that if Israel attacks Syria - is not killing a Hezbollah operative in any scenario if it happens to be that price. Nasrallah sought to create a balance of deterrence and therefore carried out an attack on Mount failed.
Hezbollah saw the IDF's decision to hold the event at Har Dov weakness and type Of "help" from Israel to allow him to get off the tree and close the event. Nasrallah did not appreciate the IDF's good will not to distribute the video showing the activists on the ground moments before the attack.
A scar in the operations diary of the commander of the Northern Command. The incident on Mount Dov, last month
And so he nevertheless continues to threaten that he will soon carry out another attack. Thus, in fact, the attack on Mount Dov remains a scar in the operations diary of the commander of the Northern Command, Major General Amir Baram. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the decision that did not strengthen the deterrence against Hezbollah.
Last night, too, the IDF decided to contain the incident and not degenerate into days of battle or war and content itself with firing at Hezbollah positions. The firing is a humiliation for Hezbollah, but in a very proportionate way. The Syrians but also in Lebanon and improve the weak points that allowed the firing at an IDF military post near Menara.
