Israel signals open-ended Lebanon presence as cabinet minister rejects US troop-withdrawal pressure
Netanyahu and Katz's joint statement on a Hezbollah 'tunnel' strike in southern Lebanon, made 'with the information of the United States,' reads as a quiet rebuff to Washington's withdrawal timeline, and the first version of the story is being shaped by which Telegram channel you read first.

Desk note: Monexus framed the cabinet statement as a structural divergence between US diplomatic posture and Israeli operational posture, not as a personal indiscretion. Where Iranian state-aligned outlets led the day's reporting on the cabinet remarks and the al-Mansouri strike, the source ledger shows that; Western-wire confirmation on casualty figures is not yet visible in the morning's filing and the article marks that explicitly.
