The decision was made following criticism by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir in the political and security cabinet, alongside claims by senior officers that the IDF's hands are tied.
The army claimed that the forces were unable to operate beyond the "yellow line" due to negotiations with the Americans for an agreement with Lebanon, which increased frustration among the soldiers who were being hit by gunfire, explosives, drones, and drones - but were unable to act more forcefully against Hezbollah.
The Chief of Staff said in a limited security briefing this week: "Buildings in Beirut must be attacked in response to the threat of Hezbollah's explosive drones.".
Despite Hezbollah's ongoing violations, the US State Department recently announced that the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will be extended by 45 days, in order to "allow for further progress in negotiations.".
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published a video last night in which he addressed the continuation of the campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
""We are at war with Hezbollah. In just the last few weeks, our heroic fighters have eliminated over 600 terrorists. But we are not taking our foot off the pedal. I said press the pedal even harder," Netanyahu emphasized.
He added: "That's right, they're shooting fiber-optic drones at us, we have a special team working on that, and we'll solve that too. We need to increase the blows and the intensity. We'll hit them head on.".
