🇱🇧l🇮🇱l🇺🇸 Biden advisers to visit Israel to try to seal a deal to end war in Lebanon

Two senior advisers to President Biden will arrive in Israel on Thursday to try to close a deal that would end the war in Lebanon and allow displaced civilians from both sides of the border to return to their homes, three sources with direct knowledge of the trip told Axios.

Israeli and U.S. officials said they believe that after the blows Hezbollah has suffered in the past two months, including the assassination of its leader Hassan Nasrallah, it is finally willing to disconnect itself from Hamas in Gaza.

Hochstein visited Beirut last week and got a positive response from Lebanese officials about the possibility of moving toward a ceasefire regardless of the war in Gaza.

The IDF has recommended to Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant that now would be a good time to work out a diplomatic solution to end the fighting with Hezbollah and avoid getting bogged down in a war in Lebanon, the officials said.

Continued:

Israeli officials said the deal being discussed is based on re-implementing UN Security Council Resolution 1701 that ended the 2006 war in Lebanon.

The deal being considered envisions an announcement of a ceasefire that is followed by a 60-day transition period, the officials said.


During this transition period, Hezbollah would move its heavy weapons north of the Litani River and away from the Israeli border. The Lebanese army would deploy about 8,000 troops along the border with Israel who would join UNIFIL peacekeepers there and the IDF forces would gradually withdraw to the Israeli side of the border.

One Israeli demand is that the IDF be allowed to engage in "active enforcement" to ensure Hezbollah doesn't rearm and rebuild its military infrastructure in the areas of southern Lebanon

Israeli officials said that while this condition is not going to be part of the agreement with Lebanon, Israel wants a letter of assurances from the Biden administration that the U.S. would support this

❗️These developments are very important because:

1- It is the first time that Israel is the one actually who wants to end the war and a ceasefire, enough to not want to wait till the end of the US elections and hope Trump will be the joker card

2- The IDF wants Hezbullah to move large weapons above Litani? Hezbullah can just say I don't have any left :)

3- The Lebanese army and UN to enforce anything? The "locals" won't allow it

4- The IDF will occupy the border strip? The "local resistance" won't allow it

5- Will Hezbullah actually accept a ceasefire that doesn't also coincide with one in Gaza?

Will Hezbullah even after all these hardships tell its people that the war will continue because of Gaza, with the absence of the historic leader that can actually convice the people?

This will be the most critical part.

Today morning Amir Bohbot says:

"Hezbullah's unit 127 (air defense) is functioning"

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 While the Hamams-Khiyam axis is witnessing the continuation of the sounds of explosions and scattered machine guns, Israeli warplanes attacked the town of Shebaa 4 times, accompanied by artillery shelling that targeted many neighborhoods of the town.

Additional enemy forces fired machine gun bursts towards the southern outskirts of the town.

At the same time, enemy planes targeted the riverbed in the Barghaz and Khardali valleys.

🔊 For the past 3 minutes, a swarm of drones launched from Lebanon passed the border and reach now Hadera, after a long flight crossing all major cities like Nahariyya, Acre, Haifa and Wadi Ara zone.

Notice the path it took at first, over roads where the IDF doesn't usual offer air defense coverage. It had a smart flight path.

⭕️ The drone as spotted flying extremely low just over the buildings.

📹 One of the air defense attempts over Hadera exploded over the city, very low, expressing how the drone is flying

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 At least three drones were launched from Lebanon at northern Israel in the past hour, one of which was intercepted by air defenses, according to the military.

However, the IDF confirms two impacts but doesn't say where.

⭕️ One of Hezbullah's drones flew side-by-side with an Israeli helicopter, before it impacted in a building in Hadera.

No reports of casualties yet.

Helicopters don't have the means to shoot it down but by gunfire, and using this over the city will be more damaging than whatever the drone can do.

📰 Hezbullah takes credit for the drone attack, says it targeted 3 Israeli bases

- Ain Shemer
- Shragha
- Elakim

Drone impacts are indeed confirmed in two of these bases. There is damage but extent unknown.
