Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that he has directed the military to expand its operational presence in areas north of the Litani River where Hezbollah maintains strongholds. According to Netanyahu's statement, these measures are intended to ensure that Hezbollah will soon lack the capacity to pose a threat to northern Israel.

The directive represents a continuation of military operations in southern Lebanon, with the stated objective of degrading the militant organization's ability to conduct attacks across the border.
