I saw this reply, went to see what Al Jazeera has to say on it and found this from two weeks ago:

and i bet they’ll still be on the cusp of a ceasefire deal six months and however many thousand dropped bombs from now.

If that was true, it would probably be a good idea for Hezbollah to triple their security around whomever they put in charge of negotiations, just in case the IDF decides to put a stop to it via murder again…
