The conflict between Lebanese resistance forces and Israel is intensifying. Since the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation triggered a war, there has been an uptick in Western security activities and diplomatic pressures in Lebanon, supporting Israel. Despite this, the Israeli army heavily relies on security operations, with a focus on gathering intelligence to target resistance figures.

Recently, Lebanon has seen an influx of various international intelligence efforts aiding Israel. These efforts involve both foreign agents and local collaborators collecting information to pinpoint targets for Israel.

A notable incident involved the detention of a security-military group linked to the Dutch army in Bir al-Abd. Additionally, a foreign individual was arrested by resistance security in the Kafaat area of Beirut's southern suburb for filming with his phone. Identified as a Spaniard, he claimed to be lost and was attempting to use his phone to contact friends at the Spanish embassy for assistance. However, his phone was found to contain a sophisticated data protection program. Despite initial secrecy, high-level efforts from the embassy ensured his release, revealing he held a diplomatic passport.

Another recent incident involved a confrontation between local residents and UNIFIL personnel after their vehicle mistakenly entered the Hay el-Sellom area of the southern suburb. The vehicle, part of a routine logistics trip, was stopped by locals who detained the UNIFIL members and confiscated their equipment before handing them over to the resistance. They were later released by the Directorate. UNIFIL's Deputy Spokesperson, Kandice Ardiel, clarified that peacekeepers have the Lebanese government's authorization for movement throughout Lebanon for logistical reasons, emphasizing the necessity for such freedom to implement Resolution 1701.

These incidents highlight the complex security dynamics in Lebanon, especially in areas sensitive to resistance activities amidst ongoing conflict.
