Zehavi explained that Hezbollah's capability to launch a mass invasion into Israel no longer exists due to the IDF presence in south Lebanon.

“today is much more of a guerrilla organization than a terrorist army as it used to be. It is having a lot of difficulties in rebuilding its capabilities… It is dedicated to rebuilding its military capabilities. But it has a lot of challenges along the way with this regard because of the regime change in Syria, because of that fact that it's much more difficult to transfer weapons through the airport in Lebanon and through Syria. But it doesn't mean that it is not happening. They are still trying and some of it do pass.”
