Israel Declares Readiness to Implement "Pilot Zones" in Lebanon

🛡️ LEBANON — "Ready to implement" is how territorial control starts. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: "Pilot zones" is occupation language dressed as security doctrine. Israel is using CENTCOM's Iran campaign as cover to formalize ground presence in southern Lebanon — Hezbollah is degraded, the Lebanese government is politically isolated, and no international actor has bandwidth to object. The question is whether this becomes a frozen control line or a trigger for the next front.
