Sources told Sky News Arabia that a high-level French security and military delegation arrived in Beirut on Sunday evening, met with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, and conveyed a message from the Israeli side stating that Tel Aviv does not want war.
The sources added that the delegation requested pressure on Hezbollah to back down, stop its operations, and accept a diplomatic solution.
A Turkish-Qatari intelligence delegation is also expected to arrive in Lebanon tomorrow to hold intensive meetings with Hezbollah and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri with the aim of reaching a solution and avoiding war.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant announced that Israel is opening a new phase of the war by moving the center of gravity to the north.
“The center of gravity is moving north by shifting resources and forces,” Galant said at an air force base.
The confrontations between Hezbollah and Israel escalated. Last week, with a series of bombings that targeted thousands of communication devices used by its members in an operation attributed to the Hebrew state, and the latter’s announcement of launching an air strike targeting the leaders of the Radwan Force, the elite unit of the party supported by Tehran.
The rising tension between the two sides has raised fears of a full-scale war in the region.
