Israeli forces enter Nabatieh by August 31?

Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon since March 2026 advanced ground forces beyond the Litani River and reached the outskirts of Nabatieh by late May, accompanied by repeated airstrikes on Hezbollah positions and mass evacuation orders for surrounding areas. Subsequent U.S.-brokered ceasefire frameworks, including phased withdrawals and Lebanese army deployments in pilot zones such as Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh within the Nabatieh region, have constrained deeper incursions amid ongoing violations, cross-border fire incidents, and diplomatic talks, including the latest round in Rome in early August. Trader sentiment on entry timelines reflects these military movements balanced against de-escalation pressures, risks of renewed escalation, and the narrow conditions required for market resolution within specified windows.
