The Israeli military is reportedly preparing for a possible escalation in Lebanon, according to a report by Middle East Eye. Channel 12, an Israeli broadcaster, claims that while the Israeli army has been exercising restraint in recent times to maintain the course of peace negotiations with Lebanon, they have not approved some proposed operations by the army.

These operations were in response to Hezbollah's activities, but were halted to avoid interfering with the ongoing talks. Despite these precautions, Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon have continued. The Israeli military has reported killing over 4,346 people and wounding 12,301 others since early March.
