Despite the increase in rocket fire from Lebanon, cabinet ministers still assessed on Monday that Nasrallah is not interested in war with Israel and that as long as Iran does not instruct him to act, he will make do with "limited" fire.

According to a political source, at the end of the war, Israel does not intend to allow Hezbollah to continue sitting on the border fence, and this will happen under political or military pressure. In other words, there are two options that Israel is examining to act to remove Hezbollah from the border. The first is to enlist international support for the Israeli demand and to distance the organization's fighters from Israel as much as possible, thereby securing the security zone.

The second way is military action, one that Israel is not interested in at this stage, and is satisfied only with offensive defense against Hezbollah's actions that have already claimed lives. "We have an interest in cutting off the two arenas," one of the cabinet ministers told Israel Hayom, adding that "in order to eliminate Hamas in Gaza and rescue the prisoners, we must focus on the south and continue the defense in the north. In the meantime, Nasrallah is setting the bar and we see that he is under pressure, but he is avoiding a war confrontation."
