Amid US pressure, IDF holding off on strikes in Beirut’s south suburbs

More than 24 hours have passed since the IDF issued a new evacuation warning for Beirut’s southern suburbs, yet no strikes have been carried out.
US President Donald Trump asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday to scale back Israeli strikes on Lebanon to prevent the collapse of the fragile ceasefire with Iran.
As of today, the Israeli Air Force has continued strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, albeit at a slightly lower intensity than in previous days.
The IDF said earlier that in the past day, the IAF hit 120 Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon to “remove threats” to ground troops.
