Israeli ministers are reportedly frustrated over leaks made by the United States and Israel Defense Forces (IDF) concerning an operation in Lebanon. This information was not meant to be disclosed publicly and the impromptu revelation has supposedly sparked anger amongst Israeli officials, with many questioning the motivations behind the leak. Israel has been carrying out operations in Lebanon, a neighbor and long-time adversary; the specifics, however, were guarded information. The reasons for the frustrations stem from the potential hazards such leaks could pose for the operation’s execution, and may also serve to compromise Israel’s strategic position. The exact details of which aspects of the operation were leaked are not currently disclosed.
