An Israeli source indicates that if the ceasefire in Iran fails, Israel may consider intensifying attacks on Hezbollah throughout Lebanon.
While Washington advocates for diplomatic efforts between Israel and Lebanon, the ceasefire brokered by the US in Lebanon seems to be close to failure. President Donald Trump prolonged the ceasefire until the end of next week, yet Israel and Hezbollah have persisted in exchanging fire daily.
Israel has executed several rounds of daily assaults on what it claims are Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah persists in launching drone and missile attacks at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon and northern Israel. The health ministry stated that almost 400 individuals have lost their lives in Israeli attacks in Lebanon since the ceasefire was implemented.
The source reveals that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told Trump that Israel wants to restart intense combat with Hezbollah. An Israeli security official stated that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is working to overturn the US-imposed limitations to restart attacks on Hezbollah north of the Litani River, which divides southern Lebanon from the remainder of the nation.
Soon after the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire began in mid-April, Trump prevented Israel from attacking Beirut and other parts of Lebanon. On April 17, Trump stated on social media, “Israel will cease bombing Lebanon from now on.” They are NOT ALLOWED to do so by the U.S.A.
