Israel has launched limited ground operations targeting Hezbollah inside Lebanon, according to the US State Department. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned of potential troop deployments near the Lebanese border. The situation escalated following clashes triggered by Hamas’ attack on Israel, leading to extensive strikes by Israel, including the killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.
The Lebanese army is reportedly redeploying troops from its southern border in response to these developments. There have been reports of artillery shelling near the border areas, with Israeli military declaring closed zones in northern Israel. The conflict has resulted in hundreds of casualties and significant displacement.
The situation remains tense as both sides continue to engage in military actions. The international community is closely monitoring the situation in the region as the conflict shows no signs of abating.
