Hizbullah is organized along military lines, with regional commands in southern, northern and central Lebanon. The unit in the south, called the “Katyusha Unit” by the IDF, consists of some 1,000 fighters who have been responsible for most of the rocket attacks on communities north of Acre and Amiad.

The unit has been able to recruit reserves, but MI has noticed that it has run into difficulty convincing members of the terror group who reside in northern Lebanon to travel south to participate in the fighting.

Sorry that was a bit disjointed. I ment to say “In response, the attacks on Irael have not diminished and this has, in turn, diminished any logical support for further conciliatory measures by Israel.

What has actually happened here is a recognition of Israel’s good-faith moves in the recent past. They pulled back from Gaza, moved back from settlements in the West Bank, they have absorbed a considerable number of attacks with little or no response. In response, the attacks on Israel have no diminished and this has, in turn, diminished any logical support for any further measures by Israel. At some point the other side needs to responsibly uphold their side of the bargain and they haven’t. This is what has been recognized and that is very important because it also recognizes that Israel may not be expected to engage in any further displays of good-faith until there are some reciprocal show of integrity from the other side.

In other words, each time Israel abandoned a settlement or pulled back from land, they have banked political capital. What they see now is the interest from that capital in the reaction by the other Arab countries in the region. It is now time for Hamas, PIJ, Fatah, and Hezbollah to show that they can also act like responsible adults.
