Israeli officials believed that increasing air attacks and targeting Hezbollah's communications would drive the group to withdraw from the border. However, the result has been the opposite, with Hezbollah vowing to continue their offensive.
Despite Israel's escalating military actions, including strikes on military leaders and civilian areas, Hezbollah remains resolute in their offensive until a cease-fire in Gaza is enacted.
Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's leader, has issued a challenge to Israel, warning that their missile strikes are just the beginning and threatening further retaliation.
As tensions rise, Israel's military focus remains on air operations rather than a ground invasion, although an invasion is a potential next step if other strategies fail.
