Noam Amir (Channel 14) reports that an Israeli source has stated that the Dahiya operation is not under consideration, in an apparent effort to dispel speculation. The term 'Dahiya' refers to the military doctrine of disproportionate force against Hezbollah in Beirut's Dahiyeh district.
אמיר (ערוץ 14) reports a denial from an Israeli source regarding a possible Dahiya operation.
