Israeli Occupation Army Studies Options for Military Action Against Hezbollah in Lebanon

The Israeli Occupation Army is preparing options for military action against Hezbollah in Lebanon, attempting to avoid a long attrition war, and limiting the aggression to "just a few days," in order to "not violate the ceasefire understandings reached between Israel and Lebanon, about a year and a month ago." The newspaper added that the leaders of the security system will hear from the Prime Minister of the Occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, who returned to Tel Aviv today, details about the understandings and agreements he reached with the American President Donald Trump, and senior officials of the American administration, amid estimates that the United States will allow Israel to launch a military operation in Lebanon, under the pretext of "Hezbollah not abandoning its weapons, and the Lebanese government not taking practical steps to disarm the party, even in areas far from the Israeli borders, as it committed to Trump on the eve of signing the ceasefire agreement."

This reality pushes the Americans to stand by Israel's side in the anticipated military step. The Israeli security system intends to present a set of options to Netanyahu, to deal with what it describes as Hezbollah's ongoing attempts to rearm, and the Occupation Army estimates that strong military movements may push the Lebanese government again to take steps to "impose its sovereignty" against Hezbollah.

Israeli officials claim that France is refraining at this stage from using its weight to push for the disarmament of Hezbollah. They point out that France "is a central player in Lebanon," and had committed to overseeing the Lebanese government's implementation of the ceasefire agreement, but it is not acting as expected.

The same newspaper had previously revealed earlier this week the intention of the security institution to present a plan to Netanyahu for implementing a major operation soon. Officials in the security institution claim that "the movements in Lebanon do not meet the conditions of the ceasefire, and they are working to raise the readiness of the Israeli army to carry out an operation against Hezbollah if necessary, while emphasizing the necessity of implementing such an operation."

Meanwhile, the Israeli Occupation Army continues to violate the ceasefire agreement, through continuous attacks on Lebanese territories, as it launched, today Friday, a series of raids on several areas south of Lebanon, claiming that it targeted infrastructure belonging to Hezbollah, including "a training complex used by the Radwan unit, where members of the organization were trained in planning and executing operations against Israeli army forces and citizens of the state of Israel," according to its claim.
