The Lebanese government and army are expected to finalize, by next week, an implementation plan for its decision to disarm Hezbollah. In a potentially game-changing development, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday laid out the possibility of an IDF phased withdrawal from Lebanon as well as rolling back air force strikes there,

Israeli Prime Minister says he welcomes the Lebanese cabinet’s 'momentous decision' earlier this month to work towards the disarmament of Hezbollah by the end of 2025.

Four journalists were among at least 14 people killed in Israeli airstrikes as the Committee to Protect Journalists accuses Israel of targeting them to prevent information from leaving Gaza.

It is still far from clear when and if Netanyahu will finally give the order to move the operation forward on a large scale. It seems as if for weeks now, the world has been waiting for an imminent hostage exchange and ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas or an imminent invasion by the IDF of Gaza City (after multiple prior invasions).
