Lebanon

Katz noted that the IDF's current military goal in Lebanon was not to return the situation to its previous state, but to "change the reality and bring security to the residents of the North."

The latest agreement shows Israel and Lebanon increasingly aligned in efforts to weaken Hezbollah and restore state control.

“There are some minor differences in appearance, but the real change is on the inside,” unit commander, Maj. A. said to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit, while operating the Lavi in real time.

Netanyahu also referred to Hezbollah as the key part of Iran's axis of terror, and claimed the Lebanese terror group only possesses 8% of its initial 150,000 rocket and missile stockpile.

At its core is a bargain few see as workable: Hezbollah has flatly rejected disarmament, and no Lebanese government has the power to enforce it.

Conricus says the US-Iran memorandum gives Tehran sanctions relief and diplomatic breathing room without confronting its nuclear ambitions, missile program, or support for proxy groups.

Katz told CENTCOM Chief Adm. Brad Cooper that Israel will only partially, not fully, withdraw from any of its security zones in Lebanon, Syria, or Gaza.

From Gaza to Iran, Israel has shifted the strategic balance in its favor, though significant security challenges remain.
