Israel is on track to expand its attacks deep into Lebanon

Translation by SadaNews - Matching media reports from Hebrew television channels confirmed during their main news broadcasts on Monday evening that Israel is on track to expand its operations deep into Lebanon.

According to Channel 14, as translated by SadaNews, there is an intention among Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Israel Katz to expand attacks in Lebanon and possibly deep within it.

It was noted that there are plans ready for immediate and forceful implementation targeting buildings and more.

Meanwhile, Channel 13 reported that the possibility of expanding the ground operation in southern Lebanon is being studied, pointing out that discussions have taken place with the United States, which is reluctant in this regard.

Israeli army officials have pressed for expanding the operation in Lebanon, with Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir urging Netanyahu and the ministers of the smaller cabinet to destroy buildings in the southern suburb of Beirut.

An Israeli official told Channel 12 that the expansion of the operation in Lebanon will take place soon, as translated by SadaNews.

The channel quoted a senior Israeli official involved in security and political discussions as saying: "We are powerless in the face of a deadly reality on the battlefield as well as in the political arena because we are constrained and our hands are tied, thus the current reality must change now."

He added: "As days go by, Hezbollah allows itself to expand its attacks, and everything is becoming more difficult, and finding field solutions will take longer time, emphasizing that there are a series of operational plans, some of which require immediate implementation and others are deep and need time that has not yet been approved by the political level because some need internal dialogue between the army and Netanyahu and the ministerial committee, and some require dialogue between Netanyahu and Trump."

According to the channel, during the cabinet session held yesterday, there was a sharp discussion regarding the situation in Lebanon, and Zamir confirmed that it is impossible to remain without a sharp response, while Smotrich called for the destruction of ten buildings in Beirut for each drone strike, indicating that Netanyahu rejected and even mocked this by asking if they would demolish 30 buildings for 30 drones?
