NEW | Israel planned airstrikes on Lebanon’s capital Beirut but was reportedly pressured by the U.S. to hold off, aiming to avoid large-scale escalation with Hezbollah, Israeli media reports.
Meanwhile, Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty continue unabated. According to UNIFIL, Israel has committed over 10,000 breaches: 7,500 airspace violations and 2,500 ground violations, including the construction of an illegal wall on Lebanese land, rendering more than 4,000 m² inaccessible, all in clear breach of UN Resolution 1701.
These violations are not abstract numbers: they include hundreds of killings of men, women, and children, underscoring Israel’s persistent attacks against Lebanon and its residents.
