A Battered and Diminished Hezbollah Accepts a Cease-fire

www.nytimes.com

Thirteen months of war left Hezbollah weakened, isolated and desperate for a way to stop the fighting.

For years, Hezbollah told the Lebanese that it alone could defend them from Israel. It boasted of powerful weapons and hardened commandos who would unleash deadly “surprises” if war broke out. And it assured its followers that a regional alliance of militias supported by Iran would jump in to support it in battle.

Those myths have now been shattered.

Hezbollah began firing on Israel in solidarity with Hamas…

Well now, that wasn’t very sensible was it?
