Israel Supports Talks with Lebanon Amid Hezbollah Warning

Russian outlets stress Netanyahu’s statements that Israel has the right to strike Hezbollah targets inside Lebanon as a warning. They present recent Israeli strikes as deliberate signals meant to deter further rocket and drone attacks from Lebanese territory. Commentators suggest that unless Hezbollah scales back its actions, Israel is likely to keep expanding its military response despite talk of diplomacy.
