"US informs Lebanon that Israel has 'no intention' to escalate"

[moniss]

This is the headline from an article from yesterday from the Lebanese news site "Naharnet". Interesting to note is that Israel in fact did escalate right before the new attack on Iran. The IDF has been attacking and killing in Lebanon despite the supposed "ceasefire" and on a daily basis violates the air space over all of Lebanon. The Lebanese government and military have nearly completed the 1st phase of disarming Hezbollah south of the Litani River and they project the 2nd phase disarmament plan for the rest of Hezbollah will be completed in about 4 months.

Despite this progress there is no sign whatsoever of the right wing fanatics in charge in Israel of holding to their end of the ceasefire terms and withdrawing from the Lebanese territory they invaded and still hold. It is noteworthy that in January the Lebanese government provided details to the UN of 2,036 IDF violations of the ceasefire for just the period of October thru December of 2025. As is usual the UN will do nothing but speak words.
