Zionist Circles Incite against Lebanese Army Amid Ongoing Attacks

As the Israeli enemy steps up its aggression on Lebanon, circles close to decision makers in the Zionist entity incite against the Lebanese Army with the aim to target Hezbollah resistance group.

Al-Manar’s Hebrew affairs editor Hasan Hijazi reported “Zionist unease” over the Lebanese Army’s performance, especially regarding the latest incident in Yanouh, when the national army proved that the threatened house in the southern Lebanese town was free of weapons.

Al-Manar’s Hijazi, citing Hebrew media, said there has been clear incitement, adopted by circles close to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming that the Lebanese army is cooperating with Hezbollah.

“This performance by the Lebanese Army does not align with the Zionist narrative that the army is failing and that there are violations of the ceasefire agreement by the Lebanese side,” Hijazi stated.

Meanwhile, he quoted Israeli journalists, who are close to Israeli decision-making circles, as saying that the next round of technical talks between Lebanon and the Zionist entity, brokered by the Mechanism, “will see the Israeli side raise issues related to financially isolating Hezbollah and propose economic incentives in exchange for normalizing ties with the Israeli enemy.”

In this context, Hijazi noted that expanding the talks from technical to included other issues is supported and covered by the US.

“This issue is linked to an American cover for anyone who wants to broaden the scope of negotiations and does not want to make concessions in return.”

Such attempts to expand the talks, our Hebrew affairs editor added, are not coincided by any Israeli concession.

“The Israeli enemy doesn’t want to offer any concession. Former Israeli Navy commander was cited by the Israeli media as saying that the Israeli army will not withdraw from the five occupied points in south Lebanon and will not change its way of operating even if the Lebanese side complies with the ceasefire deal,” Hijazi added.
