  1. For the first time since October 7, Israel started to reduce the number of reservists forces in all fronts.

    This probably means the IDF is expecting to enter a routine of defense in the north, in the new temporary border inside Gaza, and calculates the standing military is enough for this.

    Will Lebanon start disarming Hezbollah, and Hamas will be disarmed by the international force supposed to go into Gaza soon? Or will another war break out in any front?

    Also, I think it’s finally safe to say Israel’s economy held amazingly well during this whole ordeal. With the Shekel even becoming stronger, and Israeli stock market preforming very well. Despite many attempts at boycotts.

    What do you think?

  2. Mass demobilization is a good thing. Probably means a big rundown is coming as the deal progresses. If your planning on conducting operations or really think the situation isn’t over yet, you don’t demobilize.

  3. Feel a bit vindicated in saying the war has largely run its course despite people going “ceasefire over, knew it” over any minor skirmish.

    Holding a few hills dosen’t require reserve mobilization, especially with Hezbollah going from a so called “peer threat” to struggling to survive domestic Lebanese politics (not to mention Iran’s LOC being severed).

    It’s also worth noting it’s an election year in Israel. Continuing the war would make narrative shaping harder, bring to focus deeply unpopular policies (mainly lack of ortodox enlistment), and would be a major diplomatic and economic burden.
