The state-run Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation reported late Thursday that the Israeli army finalized a plan in recent weeks to launch a large-scale offensive against Hezbollah positions should the Lebanese government and army fail to dismantle the party's weapons before the end of 2025.

It quoted unnamed Israeli security sources as saying that the plan was prepared by the Israeli army command, the Northern Command and the Intelligence and Operations directorates, as part of preparation for the potential collapse of political efforts led by Beirut to disarm Hezbollah.
