Netanyahu says direct negotiations with Lebanon will begin soon, even as Israel makes clear the Iran ceasefire does not shield Hezbollah from further strikes.

A familiar dilemma exists: to reoccupy Southern Lebanon, which might push Hezbollah north of the Litani River. But that doesn’t remove the terror group’s long-range capabilities or prevent its rebuilding.

Troops move against Hezbollah positions, secure key areas, and push further into southern Lebanon.

An Israeli elite soldier was killed overnight Friday in Southern Lebanon while his unit was attempting to arrest a Hezbollah collaborator.

Strikes hit money exchange offices linked to terror financing in Beirut; IDF slays Hajj Yusuf Ismail Hashem, commander of the Shi’ite group’s Southern Front.

Clashes with Hezbollah terrorists claim more lives as operations in the border area escalate again.

The IDF carried out wide-scale airstrikes on regime and Hezbollah sites, expanding “Operation Roaring Lion.”

Operation further exposes the lie that Lebanese government forces had disarmed Hezbollah in compliance with the November 2024 ceasefire deal.

Bezalel Smotrich is no longer talking about deterrence at the fence line, but about moving Israel’s effective border to the Litani and ensuring Hezbollah never again sits meters from Israeli homes.
