Israeli Military Operations and Strategic Objectives
Israeli operations in Lebanon have escalated significantly, transitioning from contained border skirmishes to major strikes on Hezbollah missile sites and command structures. This offensive is driven by a long-standing Israeli strategy, developed over 18 years, to counter Hezbollah's growing military capabilities. The Israeli leadership aims not only to degrade Hezbollah but also to restore a sense of security for their northern population, which has been heavily impacted by ongoing conflict.
