And according to the Hebrew newspaper "Haaretz", in its Sunday edition, during the cabinet session last Thursday, clear security assessments were heard regarding the small possibility of a war breaking out, despite the directives of Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz to prepare for such a scenario.

According to the newspaper, the Israeli security establishment does not see that there is any security risk in the agreement itself, and believes that the establishment of the new maritime borders does not endanger Israel's security interests at all, and does not affect the freedom of action of the naval forces in the region, and that the agreement is very good in terms of security. The army representatives also reported this to the Cabinet during the last meeting.

The Israeli army estimates that the leader of the party, Hassan Nasrallah, does not have a great appetite for war now, and is aware of the seriousness of the economic and political situation in Lebanon. Therefore, in recent months, it has increased its protection and enhanced the defense of gas sites in the Mediterranean, and executive plans for an Israeli counter-attack on Lebanon have been completed, in response to a possible move by Hezbollah.
