According to a reported Israeli assessment, Israel considers its response to the overnight incident in which four soldiers were killed in Lebanon to be concluded. The response reportedly included two strikes on Hezbollah command posts in the Bekaa Valley, avoiding strikes on Beirut's Dahiyeh district.
According to an Israeli assessment reported by Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh (N13 / Army Radio), Israel considers its response to the overnight event in which four Israeli soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon to be exhausted. The response did not include strikes on Beirut's Dahiyeh district, Hezbollah's stronghold — a scenario that had been speculated upon earlier — and consisted instead of two strikes on Hezbollah command posts in the Bekaa Valley. The assessment implies that, from Israel's perspective, the military response is closed with no further immediate escalation underway. The overnight casualties, the soldiers killed in Lebanon, had not been officially detailed by the IDF as of this report, and the context of their deaths remains under review. As The Zioneer has previously reported (June 15), Israel had been examining whether incidents in southern Lebanon were attacks or routine military activity. The current bulletin adds the confirmed Israeli position on the scope of the response, ruling out a wider retaliation in Beirut.
