Despite increasing pressure from the United States, Israel continues to occupy portions of neighboring countries. In Lebanon, Israel has reportedly altered its strategy, moving away from large-scale troop deployments and instead relying on drones, artificial intelligence, and precise strikes. Unlike previous occupations, villages in the border region have been demolished. Simultaneously, Israel is quietly expanding its military presence in Syria, conducting cross-border raids according to local reports and media. Jerusalem defends these actions as necessary to ensure the security of Israel. Experts suggest a calculated shift towards more deniable and technologically advanced operations.
