Israeli Incitement to Destroy Dahiyeh and Tactical Withdrawal of the Lebanese Army from a Southern Barracks

The far-right Israeli Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, renewed his inflammatory calls for widespread destruction in Beirut's southern Dahiyeh. Smotrich demanded the demolition of ten residential buildings in Dahiyeh for every shooting targeting northern Israel, emphasizing the need to implement this threat immediately.

These statements come at a time when the Lebanese front is witnessing escalating tension despite existing understandings for a ceasefire. The Israeli minister, in a post on 'X', considered a violent response as the only way to prevent Hezbollah from exploiting the field situation to harm northern areas.

On the ground, sources reported the complete withdrawal of Lebanese Army forces from the Al-Maabar military barracks located in the town of Kafr Tibnit in the south of the country. This move comes amid complex security conditions in the border areas and increasing possibilities of widespread military escalation.

Military analysts described the Lebanese Army's withdrawal as a tactical evacuation dictated by the current field data on the ground. Experts explained that this measure is purely precautionary, aiming to avoid direct confrontations given the Israeli side's superior firepower and air superiority.

Military readings indicated that the Lebanese Army's current missions focus on maintaining internal security and implementing the state's political decisions. There is no official mandate or political decision from Beirut to engage in a direct military confrontation with the Israeli occupation army at this moment.

On the Israeli political front, media sources reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is holding a meeting of the mini-cabinet 'the Security Cabinet' on Sunday evening. The meeting will discuss the rapidly evolving regional situation, especially in light of recurring news about an anticipated agreement between Washington and Tehran.

Hebrew reports indicate that the security establishment in Tel Aviv has begun preparing for the possibility of political directives to halt ground advances in southern Lebanon. This potential direction is linked to the ongoing crystallization of international understandings led by the United States to de-escalate the situation in the region.

Beirut is experiencing a state of political anticipation, as the Lebanese government sees the necessity of not depleting the army's capabilities in battles that do not serve direct political decisions. Recent military movements are viewed as part of a repositioning, awaiting the outcome of international diplomatic efforts.

It is worth noting that Israeli aggression on Lebanese territories records daily violations of the fragile ceasefire agreement that began last April. Washington had previously announced an extension of this agreement until early July in an attempt to contain the conflict.

The scene in southern Lebanon remains open to all possibilities, between Israeli threats of expanding destruction and defensive field movements. All eyes are now on the results of the Security Cabinet meeting and what decisions it may bring that could affect the course of military operations and political agreements.

Hezbollah must not be allowed to exploit the situation to harm the north; the only way is for ten buildings in the southern Dahiyeh to fall for every shot fired towards our territories.
