Israeli operations in Lebanon remain focused on southern areas below the Litani River and targeted airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure, including repeated strikes on the Dahiyeh suburbs of Beirut in response to cross-border fire and ceasefire violations. Ground forces have not advanced into the Lebanese capital itself, constrained by U.S.-brokered framework agreements, phased withdrawal talks in Rome, and explicit interventions to avoid broader escalation. Recent months show continued Israeli strikes and demolitions in occupied southern zones alongside Lebanese army efforts to secure pilot areas, though progress on Hezbollah disarmament has been limited. Trader assessments reflect these patterns of calibrated responses, diplomatic pressures, and the absence of orders or movements indicating a direct ground push toward Beirut.
