Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Beirut on Sunday, urging the disarmament of Iran-backed Hezbollah. This statement indicates that Israel may escalate its military operations in Lebanon against the militant group. Despite a ceasefire established in November 2024, Israel continues to maintain a military presence in five regions of southern Lebanon and regularly conducts airstrikes. As tensions remain high, the situation in the region continues to evolve, drawing attention from international observers.
