The pending ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran - far too fragile to be called a peace agreement - which excludes Israel and Hezbollah, as well as the nuclear issue which Trump has said is the main reason for the war, will not end the hostilities between Israel and the state-within-a-state Hezbollah bent on its total destruction.
I decided to check with Grok AI just how much of an obstacle Lebanon is vs. Hezbollah - primarily backed by an Iran unconstrained by the latest of many ceasefire deals, not yet implemented.
Scott: Has Lebanon's official army ever attacked Israel after Israel's founding in 1948 and the signed armistice agreement? When if so? Compare to recent attacks by Hezbollah.
No, Lebanon's official army (the Lebanese Armed Forces, or LAF) has not launched significant offensive attacks on Israel since the 1949 armistice agreement following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
Post-1949 Context
- Lebanon participated in the 1948 war (alongside other Arab states), with its forces crossing into northern Galilee. Israeli forces repelled them and briefly occupied parts of southern Lebanon before withdrawing under the armistice. The March 23, 1949, Israeli-Lebanese General Armistice Agreement established the border along the pre-1948 international line and prohibited aggressive actions by either side's armed forces.
