Netanyahu visits Israeli troops in Lebanon, declares war will continue amid ceasefire pressure

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israeli troops in southern Lebanon on Sunday, appearing in a video surrounded by soldiers to declare the war is not over and Israeli forces have more objectives to accomplish. The visit occurs as ceasefire negotiations face critical pressure, with Netanyahu's statement rejecting calls for an immediate halt to military operations. The visit signals Israeli determination to maintain military control of what it designates a security zone on Lebanese territory, directly contradicting ceasefire momentum. The move comes amid ongoing U.S. diplomatic efforts to broker a stable agreement between Israel and Hezbollah.
