What happened

Israeli security officials are skeptical of claims that Israel has established a new deterrence equation in Lebanon, under which Hezbollah attacks on northern communities would bring strikes on Beirut. Political leaders say this is now Israel’s policy, but security sources told N12 that no such clear directive has been agreed. The article also says IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warned in cabinet discussions that Iran fired the last shot in the recent fighting.
