BEIRUT, March 15 (ANI): The Israeli military has reportedly destroyed “command centers” belonging to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Forces during an operation in the Lebanese capital.
According to Al Jazeera, the strike on Beirut marks a continued intensification of aerial activity as the regional conflict expands.
In a formal statement on Saturday, the Israeli military also confirmed that its forces targeted “several Hezbollah launch sites in the Al-Qatrani area” in southern Lebanon.
The strikes are part of a broader tactical campaign aimed at degrading the group’s operational capabilities across the country.
The human toll of the conflict continues to mount. Al Jazeera reported that Israeli military actions have resulted in the deaths of at least 826 people in Lebanon since the joint US-Israeli offensive against Iran began on February 28.
Amid the escalating violence, Lebanon has signaled a possible shift toward diplomacy.
According to Al Jazeera, Beirut is open to direct peace talks with Israel, although officials insist that a ceasefire must be reached before any formal negotiations begin.
The diplomatic development comes at a critical moment as Israel threatens what could become its largest ground invasion of Lebanon since the 2006 war.
To oversee a potential diplomatic process, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly assigned his close adviser Ron Dermer to lead the Israeli side.
From the United States, the talks could involve Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump.
According to Al Jazeera, discussions could begin within days and may take place in Paris or Cyprus, potentially involving direct negotiations between the parties.
However, the framework for a possible peace agreement remains unclear.
Reports had suggested that France proposed a plan requiring Hezbollah’s disarmament and Lebanon’s recognition of Israel in order to end the war.
The French Foreign Ministry has denied those claims, according to Al Jazeera.
Despite signals of willingness to negotiate, the path toward diplomacy remains stalled over the sequence of steps required to begin talks.
Nabih Berri, Lebanon’s parliamentary speaker and leader of the Amal Movement, reiterated that a ceasefire must first be implemented before negotiations can start. (ANI)
