Senior Israeli Army officials in a briefing to Israeli military correspondents: (paragraph 8) "The 'Yellow Line' model from Gaza will be implemented in Lebanon, and the IDF has defined the 'Yellow Line' as the line where the IDF continues to operate. Inside the 'Yellow Line' there are 55 Lebanese villages to which civilians are banned from returning, and the IDF is entitled to continue destroying terrorist infrastructure during the ceasefire."
Notes: Israel actually occupies about 40 Lebanese towns and villages. The gap in the numbers 55 and 40 likely indicates that Israel intends to prevent the return of the displaced to villages and towns from which it forces can be targeted, which are still under Hezbollah control.
Israel defines "terrorist infrastructure" extremely expansively, and this means that the 40 towns and villages will suffer massive destruction.
The scale of destruction will likely be more extensive compared to the period of the 2024 ceasefire. A major tool for the destruction of housing is the D9 armored bulldozer. The Biden admin restricted the delivery of D9s to Israel due to Israel's conduct of the war in Gaza. Over 100 D9s have been delivered to Israel starting in Jan 28, 2025. Additionally, in areas where Hezbollah was pushed further north and struggles to hit Israeli forces, such as in Naqoura, Israel is using civilian, unarmored bulldozers, which are available in large numbers.
I have not forgotten, and I will never forget, what Israel did to us when it bombed civilians who went to search for food from the trucks at a time when the famine had reached its absolute peak.
This happened two years ago.

What is the "family values" admin doing with so many male prostitutes?

Israel won't rein in domestic terror for several reasons. One is apparent.
The convergence of a Palestinian response to the violence and the war with Iran will give Israel the excuse it needs to increase security in the occupied territories with the goal of annexation.
I wonder if Trump/Hegseth will reference to the 2024 withdrawal agreement to blame the security issues on the Biden admin. Or maybe we won't acknowledge it at all. @thekenyatimes had the best coverage of the development, @starsandstripes barely covered all the bases.
US/NATO withdrawal from the Victoria Base Complex near Baghdad is kind of a big deal in light of the war with Iran. It's a wonder, under Trump and Hegseth, that we're making this move, especially since it coincides with a withdrawal agreement made by the Biden admin in 2024.
