Israel is pressing military operations in southern Lebanon even as diplomatic talks reportedly gain momentum, according to a single source. There were no details on which towns were hit or the extent of the strikes.
A single source reported on Tuesday evening that Israel is continuing to strike towns in southern Lebanon 'although talks of a deal are picking up.' The brief report contained no specifics on target locations, casualties, or the scale of the operations. The IDF has not yet issued a statement.
The report follows several similar weeks of Israeli operations in the south. As The Zioneer has previously reported, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has called for a reoccupation of the security zone in southern Lebanon. Israel has been striking towns in the border area and advancing ground forces in the Nabatieh direction and the Arnoun area, with Hezbollah-affiliated media reporting clashes and heavy shelling. Talks between Israel and Lebanon, mediated by the United States, have been described as improving in atmosphere, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressing hope for a joint statement and action plan.
The current report remains unverified deeper than a single source.
