An Israeli army commander says that we are not talking about destroying terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon, but rather destroying everything, according to Haaretz

The comments from the Israeli army commander indicate a significant escalation in military rhetoric regarding southern Lebanon, which could heighten tensions in the region. This could lead to increased risk aversion in markets, influencing safe-haven assets like gold and the JPY, while potentially impacting oil prices due to concerns over supply disruptions from regional instability.
