Media: Trump approves potential Israeli operation in Lebanon

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed his cabinet that US President Donald Trump has agreed in principle to support Tel Aviv's plans for such an operation, according to the news outlet Kan. This comes despite Hezbollah's refusal to lay down its arms.

"In response to Hezbollah's refusal to disarm, the prime minister told his ministers that Israel has received the green light from the US president to attack Lebanon",

Kan reported.

Citing an Israeli security source, Kan added that Israel's military is prepared for potential retaliatory strikes and a broader escalation along its northern border.
