Firestorm Amid Silence: Israel Attacks Lebanon Despite US-Iran Deal
World
The Middle East has witnessed a sharp dissonance: while Washington and Tehran were finalizing a two-week ceasefire, Israel conducted one of its most extensive aerial operations in Lebanon. Massive strikes on the positions of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah group underscored that regional de-escalation does not translate into an immediate cessation of hostilities on all fronts.
According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the attack continued uninterrupted for 10 minutes. During this window, the Israeli Air Force struck over 100 targets, including command centers, weapons depots, and key Hezbollah infrastructure facilities.
IDF officials stated that the operation was aimed at neutralizing threats to Israeli security. Previously, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office emphasized that while the Israeli government supports the humanitarian pause between the U.S. and Iran, this agreement does not extend to Lebanon. Tel Aviv insists on its right to continue combating groups attacking Israeli territory, regardless of the diplomatic progress made by Washington and Tehran in Islamabad.
