⚡️🇱🇧🇱🇧🇮🇱🇸🇾 — A Lebanese official source told Al Jazeera that efforts to keep the Ali al-Taher heights out of the conflict have failed, though Israeli military indicators do not suggest escalation beyond the area. The source accused Israel of stalling negotiations to gain time ahead of its elections, pointing to delays in finalizing the verification mechanism and Israeli claims over pilot areas as tactics. A halt to talks from Lebanon's side remains unlikely. On the Lebanese Army, the source said it is not at fault but internal bloodshed must be avoided. Israel reportedly seeks direct communication with the Army and does not want an international force in the south. The source added that Lebanon has a U.S. guarantee not to be used as a bargaining chip between Washington and Tehran. Messages sent to Hezbollah for consultation have gone unanswered, according to the source, who noted the group could be a helpful element in state-led negotiations within established principles—provided it speaks in a "Lebanese language" that addresses the problem. The source also said there is international consensus that disarmament cannot be achieved by force or quickly. Security and military cooperation with Syria continues, though the border demarcation file has not advanced from Damascus' side. ⭐️ Follow @MaxOsintIntel
