An assessment circulating among Israeli channels holds that a response from the Dahieh district of Beirut to launches toward Israel is no longer expected, according to journalist Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The assessment reflects a shift in the perceived likelihood of Hezbollah retaliation from its Beirut stronghold.
This assessment, reported by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) at 00:37 Jerusalem, suggests that after a period in which a retaliatory strike from the Dahieh district was considered a live possibility, Israeli analysts now judge it unlikely.
The comment comes in the context of ongoing exchanges — The Zioneer previously reported, on June 14, that the IDF had effectively declared Dahieh off-limits, and Hezbollah had thanked Iran and the Houthis for responding to an Israeli strike there. As of the latest assessment, a direct Dahieh-based response to Israeli fire appears to have been taken off the table, at least for now. The assessment is attributed to an unnamed Israeli source and has not been officially confirmed.
