Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops in southern Lebanon, issuing strict directives to neutralize any perceived dangers amid ongoing military operations. Discussing a US-brokered framework agreement, he gave soldiers an “uncompromising and absolute order,” stating, “If you detect a threat to your security… strike immediately. Don’t wait, act.” Netanyahu described the pending agreement as a “hard slap in the face” to Iranian proxies, vowing that Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hezbollah completely disarms. Highlighting the campaign’s impact, he claimed that 9,000 Hezbollah members have been killed and only 8% of the group’s missile arsenal remains intact.
