Israel Disrupts Hezbollah Communications Amid Rising Conflict Concerns

Lebanese security sources informed the news website Eram News that Israel executed a major electronic disruption operation this week aimed at Hezbollah locations in border areas and the southern suburbs of Beirut. This action is perceived as a warning signal regarding a potential military conflict.

According to the sources, this operation is the most extensive since the Lebanon War in July 2006, affecting communication networks, drone control systems, and air defense radars at several sensitive sites associated with Hezbollah. Although the campaign was brief, it has left Lebanese military circles with the impression that it signifies military preparations for a possible ground invasion.

The disruption coincided with an increase in Israeli reconnaissance flights over various Lebanese regions, including Beirut, its southern suburbs, and southern border towns.

Hebrew reports cited by Eram News indicate that the Israeli military is preparing for a limited operation within Lebanese territory that could last two to three weeks, while tanks and military units are being deployed to the northern front.

Israeli intelligence assessments suggest that Hezbollah is rebuilding its military capabilities and is unwilling to disarm, despite a deadline set for the Lebanese army to act by the end of this year.

In response, Eram News reported, citing diplomatic sources, that the United States has expressed understanding for a "limited" Israeli operation if Beirut fails to curb Hezbollah's influence, but has warned that any significant escalation would be solely Israel's responsibility.
