This persistence of Hezbollah's civil infrastructure in the demilitarized area raises concerns about the group's ability to fully withdraw and limits the potential for a stable post-conflict resolution.

"Event 8 establishes the diplomatic condition that Israeli troop withdrawal is linked to Hezbollah disarmament. The new event describes Hezbollah maintaining civil infrastructure in the demilitarized zone, which directly undermines the disarmament requirement and escalates the tension regarding compliance with the ceasefire agreement."
"The new event describes a significant military expansion and destruction of Hezbollah strongholds in Southern Lebanon, which is a direct military escalation following the reported undermining of ceasefire compliance by Hezbollah's civil arm in the same region (Event 1). The destruction of villages and claim of territorial control represent a severe intensification of the conflict dynamics initiated or exacerbated by the events in Event 1."
