According to sources cited by The New York Times, U.S. intelligence agencies assess that Israel is likely to continue launching attacks against Lebanon.
The newspaper reported that Netanyahu is under significant domestic pressure, with public demands urging him to persist in military operations targeting Hezbollah. U.S. officials believe that Hezbollah's attacks "cannot possibly go unchallenged."
Besides, Netanyahu’s relationship with Trump has become strained, yet he needs support from Trump during the upcoming autumn elections. Netanyahu’s repeated requests for Trump to escalate military strikes against Iran have begun to annoy Trump, who views Netanyahu as “overly obsessed” with military actions.
On June 19, Israel carried out attacks on Lebanon even after announcing a ceasefire. As news of a truce agreement emerged, Israel launched a new round of airstrikes inside Lebanon. Netanyahu stated that Israeli forces would not withdraw from southern Lebanon.
