# Translation Amid inflamed field developments expanding within them Israeli ground advancement operations that have reached Yihmar Shaqif and are approaching the Shaqif fortress, as aerial raids expand which targeted Al-Shwifat yesterday at the edges of the southern suburb in an attempt to assassinate a senior military leader in Hezbollah, it was not easy to impose preliminary expectations regarding what the direct Lebanese-Israeli military negotiation round sponsored by the United States today at the Pentagon could lead to, pending the mechanism of these negotiations and their agenda considering that the military character of the negotiations is not predetermined but rather the political character, yet that does not diminish its importance. As it appears clear that the agenda of the Lebanese military delegation to the first negotiation round today will focus on establishing the priority of ceasefire and destructive operations in the south as well as Israeli ground infiltration operations, major complications emerge before the Lebanese delegation in convincing the American sponsor in the first place of the Lebanese army's ability to commit to a new plan to restrict weapons which means disarming Hezbollah although the expected round will witness a detailed explanation from the Lebanese side of what the army did south of the Litani River before the outbreak of the current war in addition to raising the topic of military support and its needs to establish weapons exclusivity throughout Lebanon. The military round takes its importance in that it comes as a continuation of diplomatic talks which will hold its fourth round in Washington on the second and third of next June.
