Israeli news outlet Ynet News reporting that, according to IDF sources, Israel's conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon could intensify in the coming days and weeks, following "operations have been planned by the IDF for years."
- Ynet: "The attack’s peak may still be ahead. A security official told Ynet on Monday the military will launch a “large-scale” attack across rural areas of Lebanon. According to him, Hezbollah’s possible response could include expanding its range of fire, possibly targeting “selected sites in Tel Aviv.”"
- Comes as Reuters reports that the IDF said it is now, "targetting Beirut": "An Israeli strike hit Beirut's southern suburbs on Monday evening, a security source told Reuters, but said it was not immediately clear what type of strike was used or what was hit."
- Barak Ravid at Axios notes: "Lebanese minister of health said 274 people were killed and more than 1000 wounded in the Israeli strikes across Lebanon on Monday."
- Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said today: “In this new phase of the war, home front resilience is the key that allows the IDF to fight, achieve successes and strike the enemy. This has been ongoing for nearly a year and is being done impressively.”
- Gallant added: “We’re deepening our strikes in Lebanon, and this course of action will continue until we achieve our objectives — returning the northern residents to their homes safely.”
