[60815] Escalation in Lebanon: IDF deepens evacuations in southern Lebanon parallel to diplomatic contacts

The campaign in the north: extensive evacuations and low-intensity battles

In the shadow of diplomatic efforts in Washington, the intense fighting in the northern sector continues. According to the Asrar Lubnan | Secrets of Lebanon channel, Israel is expanding its military moves and carrying out a "systematic evacuation" of the southern Litani, while issuing additional evacuation orders for villages in the suburbs of Tyre. At the same time, a single rocket fire was reported toward the Eilabun area in the Lower Galilee, an action that indicates Hezbollah's continued attempts to maintain an operational presence under fire.

In an analysis of the situation on the ground, Asrar Lubnan (which takes a critical line toward Hezbollah and the American administration) claims that the assertion that this is a "unilateral ceasefire" does not reflect reality. According to the source, the IDF is operating at high intensity, crossing the Litani and eliminating dozens of terrorists every day, while Hezbollah is forced to rely on guerrilla warfare and explosive drones due to the damage to its infrastructure.

Meanwhile, in the diplomatic arena, the Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, Nabih Berri, has set demands for the success of the negotiations. As reported in NzivNet, Berri emphasizes that the continuation of talks in Washington is conditional upon achieving a "real ceasefire" and the return of southern Lebanon's residents to their homes, while warning that the absence of a political solution will lead to "the destruction of everything." However, at NzivNet, they warn readers against taking these statements as a sign of a real compromise by the Shiite leadership.
