Israeli Forces Expand Operations Beyond Southern Lebanon Line

Israeli forces have advanced beyond the self-declared "yellow line" in southern Lebanon. Officials ordered the expansion of operations into additional territory. Israeli assessments indicate that roughly 70 percent of homes in frontline border villages have been destroyed. The same assessments classify about 10,000 of 15,000 structures as Hezbollah infrastructure.

Officials have approved targeted actions across the country without stated exceptions. The decision follows concerns that a potential U.S.-Iran agreement could limit future operations beyond the current line. Israeli Channel 14 reported that the timing of the moves is intended to occur before any such agreement takes effect.
