Today, Saturday, the Hebrew Channel 14 presented a summary of the situation in Lebanon, saying that in the south of the Litani, “there is no ceasefire. Israeli army He attacks dozens of targets daily and eliminates elements at a higher rate than throughout the entire era Lebanon In the previous ceasefire after Operation Northern Arrows.
She pointed out that in “north of the Litani, the Israeli army is greatly restricting its activity, under the guidance of the political level, as a result of intense American pressure. Limited strikes are carried out only in cases of major threats, and in fact no strikes are carried out in Beirut“.
The channel’s report stated: “Unlike the situation in the previous ceasefire, when he did not dare Hezbollah To return fire, the party now fires repeatedly in an attempt to thwart negotiations between… Israel The Lebanese government imposed a new equation. This is an important decline from Tel Aviv’s point of view.”
The channel pointed out that “the Israeli army’s control over the land is much better – instead of a limited security strip that includes 5 points close to the border, there is now a wider strip with a depth ranging from 5 to 10 kilometers, with a heavy deployment of forces along the front, from the sea to Mount Hermon.”

New tape
She explained, “The new tape provides an excellent response to the threat of a widespread incursion by Hezbollah, a danger that no longer actually exists now (although the possibility of limited infiltrations remains, but they have become more complex).”
According to the channel’s report, the tape also provides “a good, but not complete, response to the anti-tank missile threat that was threatening the towns. Hezbollah has a limited number of missiles with a sufficient range to cross the tape and strike inside Israel, but most of its arsenal in this area has become irrelevant. Of course, the soldiers inside the tape are still exposed to this type of fire.”
She continued: “It provides towns with only a partial response to the threat of FPV drones, which operate via optical fibers with a range of up to 10 and perhaps 15 kilometers, which is sufficient to reach inside Israel, as happened in the Shumira injury.”
The channel explained that the new tape “does not provide the northern towns with a solution to the missile threat; this threat has declined significantly as a result of the destruction of launch pads and ammunition stores, but it still exists, albeit on a smaller scale and mainly in the short range.”
She concluded by saying: “In the end, the current situation is insufficient, and in the long term Israel will be forced to change it,” considering that “the basic improvement is represented by deeper and more intense control over the land, but the main obstacle is changing the equation by Hezbollah, with the support of American pressure, from a state of unilateral offensive activity by the Israeli army to a state of mutual fire between the two parties.”
