Arabic version: نتنياهو يؤكد دخول القوات الإسرائيلية إلى جنوب لبنان

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces have crossed the Litani River in southern Lebanon and are operating in Beirut and the Bekaa Valley, referring to this operation as a “tactical victory.”

This development follows Netanyahu’s orders for the Israeli military to take control of 70% of the Gaza Strip. The actions reflect a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict in the region.

According to Al Jazeera, the situation remains fluid as military operations continue in both Lebanon and Gaza. The implications of these actions could further alter the dynamics of regional security.

Netanyahu’s statements underscore a decisive shift in Israel’s military strategy as it seeks to expand its operational reach beyond its borders.
