Israel weighs multiple Lebanon escalation scenarios as it seeks regional control — the details
Report by Amal Shehadeh, English adaptation by Karine Keuchkerian Israel is reportedly considering several scenarios in which Lebanon could be on the verge of a second civil war or a major conflict between President Joseph Aoun and Hezbollah, potentially putting Aoun's life at risk. These scenarios were discussed by Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer in Paris with U.S. envoy Tom Barrack, during talks that also included Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani. The discussions focused on the Syrian file and ways to stabilize the entire northern front, covering both Syria and Lebanon. On the Lebanese front, Tel Aviv insists on maintaining a prolonged presence in the positions it occupies and has so far delayed allowing residents in northern areas to return to their homes. Among the scenarios being considered in Israel is the possibility of an internal Lebanese security incident escalating to the point of foreign intervention, including the deployment of international forces to Lebanon. Some Israeli security officials are calling for a strategy aimed at dismantling Hezbollah's arsenal and reducing Iran's influence in Lebanon. As Israel is determined to maintain a presence in Lebanon, it also seeks to remain in Syria. Across Lebanon, Syria, and the Gaza Strip, it has become clear that Israel is pursuing a deterrent capability that allows it to exercise security control over these areas, advancing plans for a 'new Middle East' in which the Israeli state holds dominant security authority.

Hamas attack of unprecedented scale against Israeli troops
The Israeli military said it killed 10 Hamas militants in Gaza on Wednesday while repelling an attack by the armed wing of the group, which claimed it killed several Israeli soldiers. Israeli media reported that such an attack on troops inside the Gaza Strip was highly unusual since the start of the war, which began in October 2023. "Today, at around 9 a.m., over 15 terrorists emerged out of several tunnel shafts adjacent to the 90th battalion post in southern Khan Yunis," the Israeli military said in a statement. The militants "carried out a combined gunfire and anti-tank missile attack towards the post, with several terrorists infiltrating it and getting eliminated in face-to-face combat and aerial support strikes," it added. "The troops, in coordination with the [Israeli air force], eliminated 10 terrorists during face-to-face combat and airstrikes," it said, adding that eight other militants fled back into the tunnel. The military said that one soldier was severely injured and two others lightly injured in the assault, while Hamas's armed wing, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, said in a statement that its fighters "this morning (...) carried out a raid on a newly established enemy position southeast of Khan Yunis." "Our fighters stormed the site and targeted several guard tanks... our fighters also targeted several houses in which [Israeli] soldiers were fortified," it added. "A number of our fighters stormed the houses and finished off several soldiers inside from point-blank range with light weapons and hand grenades," it said, claiming to have also killed a tank commander. "As soon as the rescue forces arrived, one of the Qassam fighters detonated himself among the soldiers, leaving them dead and wounded," the statement added. It did not mention any casualties amongst its fighters.
