Israel has demanded its IDF forces be allowed to engage in ”active enforcement” to make sure Hezbollah doesn’t rearm and rebuild its military infrastructure close to the border, Axios reported, citing an Israeli official.
Israel also demanded its air force have freedom of operation in Lebanese air space, the report added.
A U.S. official told Axios it was highly unlikely that Lebanon and the international community would agree to Israel’s conditions.
