Lebanese security officials believe that the extensive Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon in recent days are not merely localized operations but are intended to lay the groundwork for a broader military campaign, Asharq al-Awsat reported on Monday.

According to the report, the IDF has focused its strikes on strategic ridgelines overlooking villages and towns in the area, as well as on a transportation route leading deeper into Lebanese territory. The reported aim is to isolate key areas and prevent the movement of personnel between them.

Sources in Beirut said that strikes on homes, infrastructure, and roads in these areas were intended to create a buffer zone and separate Hezbollah strongholds from their surroundings, as part of preparations for the possibility that the fighting could expand.
