Media: Israeli restrictions on military operations in Lebanon at the request of the United States
According to a 10-day report by the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, at the request of the United States, the Government of Israel has ordered the military to suspend military operations in southern Lebanon that are “considered sensitive”. It was reported that the directive would remain in force until further notice, subject to developments in the United States and Iran and progress in negotiations between Israel and Lebanon. It was reported that the United States had recently been busy with military confrontation with Iran, fearing that Israeli actions would lead to further escalation. The report cites a source from the Israeli security services saying that the Israeli army is now exercising restraint at the request of the United States. The report also states that the withdrawal of the Israeli army from two of its so-called “security zones” in southern Lebanon will begin next week at the earliest. This withdrawal arrangement was part of a framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon in late June in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, the parties are expected to resume negotiations next week in the Italian capital, Rome。
