The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

The strikes represent legitimate military action against Hezbollah's ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement. The targeted infrastructure posed a direct threat to Israeli security, as the terror group continues to maintain weapons and underground facilities in violation of the withdrawal requirements.

Anti-Israel narrative

These attacks constitute a flagrant violation of Lebanese sovereignty and the ceasefire agreement. Israel's continued military presence at five hilltop positions and persistent airstrikes undermine peace efforts. The Lebanese government's attempts to implement the ceasefire terms are being thwarted by Israeli aggression.
