Israeli broadcasters are reporting that American military personnel will assume responsibility for training and reinforcing the Lebanese Armed Forces as part of broader regional strategy.

According to the reports, the Trump administration's core directive centers on preventing further escalation of hostilities throughout Lebanon. The emphasis on de-escalation reflects Washington's approach to managing tensions in the country.

On Israel's position, the Israeli media indicates that the country will not launch military operations targeting Beirut. However, Israeli forces are expected to maintain their presence in territories currently under their control, with no withdrawal planned from these areas.

The reported training initiative represents a significant step in external involvement in Lebanese military capacity-building, as regional dynamics continue to evolve.
