Israeli Channel 13 reported that the country‘s political leadership has issued new limits on military operations in southern Lebanon, allowing action within the „yellow line“ against direct threats while prohibiting operations in areas such as Beirut and Tyre.
The channel said the move reflects growing pressure from the Trump administration.
Mr. Trump said Tuesday that Netanyahu „has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon.“
„[I] didn‘t like where two hours before we‘re signing the agreement that there was an attack in Lebanon, in Beirut,“ Mr. Trump said Tuesday. He also described the attack as „vicious,“ saying it was „too much.“
But the president added he and Netanyahu have a „great relationship,“ and „we‘re talking about some end details.“
Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process. We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace â Letâs not blow it! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Several reports are circulating that Israel struck the Beirut‘s southern suburbs, following calls from prominent Israeli officials on attacking the area.
In a forceful post on his X account on Sunday, Qalibaf issued a stark warning to the US and Israel, saying their military bases and assets across the region have become legitimate targets after the Israeli regime bombed Beirut‘s southern suburbs.
He said the United States has not been committed to the April ceasefire agreement with Iran and is not serious about dialogue.
„They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue,“ Qalibaf wrote.
By enforcing a naval blockade and breaching agreements related to Lebanon, he emphasized, they have made it clear that the only language they understand is that of power.
Israel notified the Trump administration before the strike, a U.S. official and two other sources with knowledge tell Axios
Der Vergeltungsangriff ist von Netanjahu nicht nur einkalkuliert, sondern bewusst herausgefordert worden. Der Konflikt zeigt wieder, dass Israel nicht vertragsfÀhig ist, eben wie die USA.
