Israel expands its raids in southern Lebanon and reveals a partial withdrawal plan

Israel expanded its raids and bombing in southern Lebanon, coinciding with its unveiling of a plan to withdraw from most of the occupied territories and remain at a distance of two to four kilometers within the “gray line.” On the ground, Israel violated the undeclared ceasefire rules, resuming evacuation warnings and launching air strikes targeting vital facilities in Nabatieh, killing 4 people, which sparked official Lebanese condemnation. In Tel Aviv, military sources said that the army is preparing to reduce its forces and redeploy them within a new “security belt.” In Iraq, the “State Administration Coalition” ignored the issue of “arms control” and warned of the repercussions of US sanctions on Iran. In Damascus, President Ahmed al-Sharaa accepted the credentials of seven new ambassadors, while the US and UK ambassadors remain unappointed.
