⚡️🇱🇧🇮🇱🇺🇸 — Lebanese and Israeli military delegations are preparing to meet in September to follow up on previous talks and address stalled progress regarding pilot zones. The military agenda will include reviewing Israeli attacks and objections to the destruction of homes in Mansouri, while Lebanese contacts credit US diplomacy for restraining further Israeli territorial advances — Al-Nahar. ➡️ Ali al-Taher hill remains a key flashpoint as Benjamin Netanyahu seeks an opportunity to capture it for leverage in the upcoming Knesset elections, backed by Washington's pressure on Tel Aviv to control the site. The strategic area holds significance for Tehran and Hezbollah, which maintains undisclosed stockpiles of drones and missiles on the hill where the unconfirmed presence of Iranian Revolutionary Guard elements risks impacting US-Tehran diplomatic tracks, while the Lebanese Army refuses to assume control without Hezbollah's consent or American guarantees against Israeli occupation. ➡️ Upcoming trilateral military meetings will address three frameworks to determine the international force responsible for verifying the removal of Hezbollah weapons from areas of Israeli withdrawal. Proposals include extending UNIFIL beyond its year-end expiration via Lebanese diplomacy backed by an 86-MP parliamentary petition despite US and Israeli rejection, establishing an Italian-led European force pending Washington's final decision, or deploying a multinational force composed of small diverse contingents similar to the Sinai MFO. Israel has rejected large contingents from France, Spain, and Turkey, while Hezbollah objects to any participation from Britain and Azerbaijan. ⭐️ Follow @MaxOsintIntel
