Dr. Dan Diker, President of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, says Israel-Lebanon talks are symbolically important but constrained by Hezbollah’s influence and unlikely to lead to full disarmament.
Residents of southern Lebanon, together with Lebanese Army, rebuild bridges over Litani River, allowing mass return after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir promised southern Lebanon would be a 'kill zone.'
The bridges were used by Hezbollah to move reinforcements and supplies to threaten northern Israel.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the war must end with the Litani River as Israel’s new border, alongside a buffer zone in Lebanon.
Following IDF evacuation warnings, IDF strikes bridge to prevent Hezbollah from transporting reinforcements and arms to southern Lebanon.
IDF issues urgent warning to residents of southern Lebanon, warning of imminent strikes on Litani River bridges and crossings.
The IDF attacked the A-Zararia bridge on the Litani River, which had served as a central crossing point for Hezbollah operatives from northern Lebanon to the south.
Lebanon will decide next week how to proceed with the second phase of its plan to control arms north of the Litani River. Hezbollah has refused to disarm despite ceasefire agreement.
Lebanese official claims that there is no military presence of Hezbollah south of the Litani. Israel is skeptical and continues targeted strikes against Hezbollah infrastructure and terrorists across Lebanon.
Yes, yes, I know you are not barbarians, but do you want to win against barbarians, or not? Go forth in audacious war, and hurt the Jihadist where it humiliates them.
