Israel Launches Limited Ground Offensive in Southern Lebanon

The Israeli military has initiated a limited ground invasion into southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure close to the Israeli border. Small units of commandos, backed by air support and artillery, have been deployed, with Israeli officials stating the operation aims to neutralize immediate threats to northern Israeli communities.


This ground offensive comes after weeks of intense Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon, which have killed hundreds of people, according to Lebanese officials. The invasion is part of Israel’s broader effort to conclude a yearlong war with Hezbollah, which began in parallel with the conflict against Hamas in Gaza. Hezbollah has been firing rockets toward Israel in solidarity with Hamas, with both groups receiving support from Iran.
