Israel launched an attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs, killing five and wounding 28, just two days after Lebanese President Joseph Aoun announced readiness for negotiations with Israel to disarm Hezbollah. Israeli officials claim Hezbollah is regrouping, prompting a renewed escalation, while the U.S. pressures Lebanon to expedite disarmament efforts. Analysts suggest that Israel is not genuinely interested in negotiations, as it continues military strikes and occupies parts of southern Lebanon. The recent attack, targeting a high-ranking Hezbollah official, undermines Lebanon’s attempts to establish political consensus on disarmament.
