Israeli military officials are set to present plans to Prime Minister Netanyahu concerning the northern front amid escalating tensions with Hezbollah, following a series of deadly explosions attributed to Israeli operations targeting Hezbollah communication devices. The IDF Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, has approved both offensive and defensive strategies, emphasizing the military's readiness to address threats from Hezbollah while aiming to avoid a broader regional conflict. Recent blasts have resulted in significant casualties, with reports indicating at least 37 deaths, primarily among Hezbollah operatives. This escalation has prompted Israel to redeploy forces to the north and prepare for a potential ground operation. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has characterized the current situation as a 'new phase' in operations against Hezbollah, suggesting a shift in military focus. The Israeli government has granted Netanyahu and Gallant the authority to declare war if necessary, indicating a possible intensification of military actions in the region.
