According to an Israeli military source cited by Yedioth Ahronoth, the Israeli armed forces believe that pushing Hezbollah further northward would result in a diminished threat level from the militant organization.

The source indicated that Hezbollah possesses unmanned aerial vehicles capable of reaching targets up to 30 kilometers away. This capability assessment appears to underpin the military's strategic calculations regarding the potential benefits of displacing the group's positions northward.

The evaluation suggests that increased distance between Hezbollah positions and Israeli territory could reduce the immediate threat posed by the group's drone operations and other military capabilities.
