After reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the IDF to stop striking targets in Beirut last week at the request of the Biden administration, a senior official says that Israel could strike in Beirut again soon.
“Israel attacks everywhere in Lebanon, including Beirut. We proved this recently, and we will prove it again in the coming days, in accordance with operational considerations,” says the senior official.
An Israeli official issued a similar denial of the reports yesterday.
