'Post' embeds with IDF in Bint Jbail as IDF races to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure within weeks

The IDF is rapidly working to dismantle Hezbollah's infrastructure in 52 southern Lebanese villages, including Bint Jbail, before potential US pressure for a wider withdrawal. During a visit to Bint Jbail, where the IDF defeated a major Hezbollah center, officials detailed their operations. US President Donald Trump has expressed a desire for Israel to withdraw from Lebanon and Syria, leading to ongoing negotiations with the US and Lebanon for partial withdrawals and territory transfers to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). These transfers are coordinated by US Marine Corps Lt.-Gen. Joseph R. Clearfield, with IDF sources emphasizing the importance of the LAF meeting benchmarks to prevent a repeat of past failures in containing Hezbollah. The IDF aims to destroy at least 70% of the terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon, aspiring for 100% elimination, to prevent Hezbollah's reestablishment.
