Israel-Lebanon border

Israeli sources frame the northern border conflict as a self-defense theater triggered by Hezbollah's October 8 "support front" and rocket fire that displaced ~60,000 Israelis from the Galilee. Operational goal: restore UN Resolution 1701 by force, push Hezbollah north of the Litani, eliminate its precision-guided missile arsenal and senior command. Beirut strikes on Hezbollah leadership (including Nasrallah) are presented as legitimate decapitation operations. The vocabulary is "Hezbollah aggression", "northern displaced", "Litani", "1701 enforcement", "precision-guided missile project", "deterrence restored", "decapitation strike". Prescription: continue military pressure until Hezbollah accepts withdrawal from the border zone; reject any diplomatic settlement that leaves Hezbollah's arsenal in place.
