Netanyahu Says Lebanon Strikes Aimed at Severing Hezbollah from Hamas War

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed Israel’s security cabinet on Monday that the country’s military operations in Lebanon are focused on severing “Hezbollah from the war with Hamas,” according to an Israeli official who spoke with CNN. The cabinet reportedly agreed to intensify military actions daily, though the official noted that Israel is aware of the potential risks and is prepared to halt operations if necessary, depending on Hezbollah’s response.

Herzi Halevi, Israel’s Chief of Staff, also commented on Monday, saying that the military is “preparing for the next phases” of their strategy, with further details expected soon.
