In Lebanon they warn: Israel is repeating the move that preceded the elimination of Nasrallah

Sources in Lebanon warn that Israel is repeating the operational pattern that preceded the elimination of Nasrallah: increasing intelligence sorties, marking new targets in the south and the Bekaa, and Hezbollah splitting into small cells. The concern in Beirut is that another broad campaign is approaching, against the backdrop of a freeze in political negotiations.

Sources in Lebanon warn that Israel is repeating the operational pattern that preceded the elimination of Nasrallah: increasing intelligence sorties, marking new targets in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa, and Hezbollah splitting into small cells. The concern in Beirut is that another broad campaign is approaching. According to a report cited by the Al-Jadeed network, the IDF's operational focus is shifting toward Jabal al-Rihan and Jabal al-Rafie, strategic Hezbollah strongholds that include warehouses, operations rooms, and possibly the 'Imad 4' underground tunnel facility. According to the Lebanese analysis, Israel aims to open a campaign in the western Bekaa to seize the controlling ridges and create a new security reality. An Israeli security source cited by An-Nahar clarified that Hezbollah has significantly weakened and moved to a decentralized structure of small cells north of the Litani. The political negotiations between Israel and Lebanon have reached a stalemate, and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam is trying to enlist the US and Saudi Arabia to stem the deterioration. Meanwhile, statements by Hezbollah activists about underground facilities in the Ali al-Taher area sparked panic among residents, and a delegation of experts from a regional country reportedly secretly toured the eastern Lebanon mountain range, which may play a role in dismantling the remnants of Hezbollah's precision missile array.
