Israeli war minister Yoav Gallant acknowledged on October 28 that military means alone cannot achieve every objective in the ongoing war with Hezbollah, indicating painful compromises ahead.
Hezbollah's newly elected Secretary General, Naim Qassem, dismissed the talks of a potential cessation deal, calling them 'noise without results' and reasserting Hezbollah's demand for a ceasefire before negotiations.
A stark shift in Israeli rhetoric is evident as Gallant previously expressed confidence about defeating Hezbollah but later recognized the need for compromises, signaling a critical turning point.
Despite Israel's earlier belief in the destruction of Hezbollah's capabilities, the group retaliated fiercely, demonstrating resilience and an increase in rocket fire that contradicted Israeli assessments of their strength.
