💥 LEBANON — Netanyahu is moving past the buffer — that's not containment anymore. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Operating beyond the security zone signals IDF has shifted from deterrence to offensive terrain seizure. With Hezbollah drones already hitting Israel and Tehran's restraint gone post-US strikes, this expansion removes the geographic firebreak that kept Lebanon from full-scale war. It also forecloses any ceasefire geometry Washington might need to trade in Iran diplomacy.
