US pressure reportedly limits 'Israeli' military operations in southern Lebanon

• New restrictions reportedly limit 'Israeli' military movement in southern Lebanon.
• Operations are confined to the so-called "yellow line" for direct threat response only.
• Measures reportedly follow increased US pressure linked to understandings with Iran.

Leadership in 'Israel' has reportedly imposed new restrictions on the military's operations in southern Lebanon, in a move that reflects direct pressure from the administration of US President Donald Trump to align with the terms of the memorandum of understanding reached with Iran aimed at ending the war and opening negotiations on disputed issues.

Field operation zones and the "yellow line"

According to 'Israel's' Channel 13, the political leadership officially issued guidelines defining the scope of military activity in Lebanon.

The reported measures include:

• Conditional operational freedom: Military action is permitted only within the area referred to as the "yellow line" and solely for the purpose of responding to immediate field threats.
• Ban on deep operations: Airstrikes and military operations in distant areas are prohibited, particularly in Beirut and the city of Tyre.
• Channel 13 also quoted a senior 'Israeli' official as saying: "The message we received in recent weeks from the Americans was clear: You had the right to operate without restrictions, and that has completely ended."

Growing US restraint on military activity

These developments indicate that restrictions imposed by the Trump administration on the 'Israeli' government and military have become increasingly noticeable.

According to the report, this restraint is not limited to Lebanon but extends to other regional arenas as part of efforts to prevent the current de-escalation from collapsing.

No official confirmation has yet been issued by US or 'Israeli' authorities regarding the reported restrictions.
