Israel is intensifying strikes across Lebanon, hitting civilian infrastructure and crossing ceasefire lines, in what looks less like fighting Hezbollah and more like a land grab.

• Israel bombed a major dam in the Bekaa Valley that holds drinking water, risking flooding villages and cutting off clean water.
• Israeli forces have crossed the yellow line ceasefire boundary, pushing deeper into southern Lebanon under the cover of "security operations."
• Finance Minister Smotrich said Israel will destroy 10 buildings in Beirut for every drone strike on IDF soldiers, openly targeting civilians.
• Paramedics and medics are being killed in double-tap strikes, with over 120 medical workers killed in Lebanon since March.
• Israel now occupies over 60% of Gaza, a pattern critics say shows the goal in Lebanon is the same — taking land, not safety.

Outlook: Strikes and territorial expansion in Lebanon will likely keep escalating as long as Washington stays behind Netanyahu and diplomacy stalls.
