Israeli officials told CNN that the Lebanese government has failed to fulfill its promise to disarm Iran-backed militants in the November 2024 deal. They felt it was time to launch a new operation to end Hezbollah’s ability to permanently rain down rockets on Israeli communities. Eight days into the new…
