Israel Shifts to Weakening Hezbollah, Abandons Disarmament Aim
The Israeli Defense Forces have revised their strategy in southern Lebanon. They now aim to significantly weaken Hezbollah rather than fully disarm the group. The plan envisions a deep buffer zone along the border. It calls for demolishing homes in frontline villages, supported by legal opinions citing recent terrorist infrastructure. IDF commanders will soon present this defense blueprint to military and political leaders. It includes stabilizing forces along anti-tank missile lines and using mobile defense units in deeper areas. This approach mirrors tactics used along Gaza’s “yellow line.” Officials stress that full occupation of Lebanon is unrealistic under current conditions.
