An unidentified Hezbollah leader told Israeli television that his organization would’ve surrendered had the war lasted another 10 days. He also confirmed that Hezbollah deliberately fired rockets from civilian areas. The Jerusalem Post writes:
The officer shown on Channel 10 said the organization’s gunmen had been running low on food and water and facing rapidly diminishing arms supplies.
The officer also said that many Hizbullah commanders were ordered to hide before the war started, and that the gunmen who remained were forced to fire Katyusha rockets from inside urban populations because of the IDF’s efficiency in destroying launchers minutes after a launch had been detected.
He said that when the gunmen relocated to cities and villages, they knew innocent civilians would be hurt as a consequence.
