The siege of ports pressures the state and the entire society, not Hezbollah alone, which is why Israel uses it as a pressure card.

Militarily, reaching Beirut cannot be considered impossible, but it is fundamentally different from carrying out a limited incursion in the south. Reaching the capital requires a broad ground operation, securing long supply lines, and controlling populated areas that are not loyal to Israel and have a complex geographical nature, which requires providing very large forces for long periods sufficient to retain the territory.

Sidon is considered the largest city in the south, contains a port, and forms a gateway to the Chouf and the western Bekaa, controlling the coastal road that links the south to Beirut. Therefore, reaching it means isolating the south from the capital, crossing the Litani River, and breaking the south-of-the-Litani equation.
