**Friday, 22:58 Jerusalem** — Israeli analyst Yossi Eliezer posted a personal assessment on his the source, arguing that the strategic damage inflicted by Israel on Iran now outweighs Hezbollah's ability to block a diplomatic arrangement. Eliezer writes, in his own words, "the finger we put in the eye of the Iranians is bigger than Hezbollah's resistance to a settlement." The post is framed as a one-source opinion, not an official Israeli military or intelligence assessment. It reflects a line of analysis The Zioneer has previously covered: several Background bulletins have reported on internal Lebanese and Iranian tensions over Hezbollah's autonomy (June 14-23), including Iranian officials reportedly calling for tighter control over the proxy. This latest comment suggests the analyst sees the military pressure on Iran as the primary lever, rather than any change in Hezbollah's internal decision-making. No further details or corroboration were available at time of drafting.
