The Israeli army is proposing to replicate its Gaza “Yellow Line” model in southern Lebanon by seizing territory and destroying entire villages.
In a briefing to Israeli media on Friday, military officials said disarming Hezbollah was not a realistic objective, and instead called for the creation of a “deep defensive line” inside Lebanese territory.
The plan would involve demolishing dozens of homes in frontline villages to establish a de facto demarcation line, similar to the one imposed in the Gaza Strip.
The “Yellow Line” in Gaza - a unilaterally drawn Israeli boundary - was initially intended as a temporary withdrawal line under a US-led ceasefire agreement signed in October. Later stages of the deal envisaged a full Israeli withdrawal and the disarmament of Hamas.
