The article discusses the importance of the highlands in southern Lebanon, particularly Mount Rayhan and the Iqlim al-Tuffah region, and their strategic influence on security and political matters. It points out that Israeli control over these areas could transform them into an advanced security depth north of the border. It explains that military operations are no longer solely tied to the borders but extend into the internal geography of the south, with implications for shifting the balance of power and bargaining leverage. The article emphasizes the need to expedite Lebanese–Israeli negotiations to restrict weapons to the state’s hands and to protect these areas from being turned into bargaining chips used against Lebanon.
