The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has reportedly achieved its key goals in Lebanon, paving the way for diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. According to the IDF's Northern Command, most terrorist infrastructure in the "contact villages" near the border has been destroyed, and weapons have either been eliminated or transferred to Israel. While progress has been made, the military says work is not yet complete, with some villages still requiring attention. Diplomatic efforts can proceed, but if not successful, military pressure could continue via airstrikes and ground maneuvers. Alternatively, IDF forces may maintain control of territories in southern Lebanon.
