The IDF is insisting on destroying Hezbollah infrastructure prior to withdrawing from additional areas of southern Lebanon, the military says.
The IDF has stated that it will not withdraw from additional areas of southern Lebanon until it has completed the destruction of Hezbollah infrastructure in those areas, according to a military source. This reaffirms the military's operational doctrine of prioritizing the dismantling of terrorist capabilities before any territorial handover.
As The Zioneer has reported, the IDF has been conducting sustained operations to destroy Hezbollah's underground compounds, tunnel networks, and weapon caches along the border. The current insistence on infrastructure destruction before withdrawal is consistent with that ongoing campaign.
The nature of the infrastructure being targeted and the timeline for the withdrawal remain unspecified.
