Israeli military operations remain concentrated in southern Lebanon under a June 2026 US-brokered framework agreement, with ongoing airstrikes, artillery fire, and ground activity targeting Hezbollah infrastructure near the Litani River and border areas. IDF forces have maintained positions in parts of the south, with officials indicating no near-term withdrawal, while Lebanese army efforts to enforce disarmament and pilot zones have produced limited verified results. Strikes have occasionally extended northward, including isolated incidents near Beirut in recent weeks, but no large-scale campaign against the capital has materialized amid diplomatic pressure and Hezbollah’s reduced operational capacity. Recent border incidents, including unexploded ordnance explosions and low-level exchanges, reinforce trader focus on southern containment rather than escalation into Beirut proper. Scheduled talks and verification mechanisms could influence the pace of any broader action within coming months.
