Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed Wednesday that a newly announced two-week pause in hostilities with Iran does not extend to Lebanon, according to reports from Israeli media. The clarification comes amid heightened tensions along Israel's northern border this year. 🕊️⚡
While expressing support for the US-brokered temporary ceasefire with Tehran, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel retains "full operational freedom" in Lebanon. Analysts suggest this could signal potential escalations with Hezbollah, which maintains strongholds in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese government has yet to respond to the announcement as of Thursday morning local time.
