Having faced decades of impunity, Hezbollah has learned that it can literally get away with murder. Yesterday, the terror group murdered 12 children playing soccer. It should never have come to this. UN Resolution 1701, which has been in force since 2006, was supposed to disarm Hezbollah and force the group north of the Litani River, which is located around 20 miles from the so-called "Blue Line" between Lebanon and Israel. The UN created an Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to establish a demilitarized zone there. But the force has done little more than watch Hezbollah metastasize across southern Lebanon, embedding itself in towns and villages and amassing hundreds of thousands of missiles and rockets that could overwhelm Israel's aerial defense systems. Since October 7, Hezbollah has used that arsenal to launch almost 5,000 rockets and explosive drones at Israel. The near-daily attacks have set swaths of northern Israel on fire and forced tens of thousands of families to evacuate their homes indefinitely. Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah has been ramping up the rhetoric. He recently vowed to fight Israel "without restraint, without rules, without limits and without restrictions."
