Israeli Defense Minister: The IDF will stay at five strategic points in southern Lebanon indefinitely

This is just absurd. They openly declare they will stay indefinitely, regardless of any future negotiations on the borders, making it clear they have no intention of respecting Lebanon’s sovereignty.

What’s worse is that this comes right after yet another senseless act—killing literal sheep and goats near a Lebanese Army checkpoint. This kind of behavior isn’t just reckless; it’s deliberately provocative. And yet, when Lebanese citizens express their anger toward the IDF, people act as if it’s irrational. How is it irrational when these violations happen daily?

The U.S. has already confirmed that the Lebanese Army has taken over Hezbollah positions in the south. Nearly the entire country wants Hezbollah to disarm. Just yesterday, the cabinet committed to setting a timeframe for their disarmament, and even Hezbollah’s political wing didn’t oppose it. For the first time, the Lebanese government is united on this issue.

But then Israel continues its violations—airstrikes, assassinations, absurd claims like "the Lebanese Army is Hezbollah itself." How can disarmament gain momentum when every Israeli action reinforces Hezbollah’s narrative? It’s exhausting and it's absolutely frustrating as a Lebanese who wants to be free from Iran's influence. Lebanon finally has hope, finally moves against Hezbollah’s military resistance, and Israel’s provocations set everything back. Shooting sheep, killing civilians, threatening to stay indefinitely—it all strengthens Hezbollah’s justification for its weapons.

How is Lebanon supposed to move forward when every step toward stability is met with deliberate Israeli disruption?

Edit: oh I also want to add the daily provocation by drawing circles in the sky with their fighter jets, which provides no benefit whatsoever besides showing that they can do whatever they want. Also their constant drones playing provocative nessages

Israeli Defense Minister: The IDF will stay at five strategic points in southern Lebanon indefinitely for the sake of protecting the residents of the north, and this is without any connection to future negotiations on points of dispute on the border

The Israeli army stationed on Al-Hamams hill fired at a herd of livestock on the western outskirts of Al-Wazzani, near a Lebanese Army checkpoint, resulting in the death of several sheep and goats

They did the same thing with the sheep a few days ago in Syria as well.
