## Resource

Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak warns that Israel’s new military presence in southern Lebanon risks becoming another endless occupation, echoing the costly 2000 withdrawal. With Hezbollah attacks escalating and Israel refusing to pull back until the group disarms, Barak recalls how past security zones failed to protect Israelis—and fears history is repeating. Modern warfare has shifted too: Israel now relies on drones and air power, while Hezbollah counters with precision missiles and drones that bypass defenses. Yet there’s a glimmer of hope: a potential diplomatic opening with Lebanon’s new president could help rebuild the Lebanese military and create a new regional balance, even if Hezbollah isn’t fully dismantled.
