Israeli Military Launches Targeted Ground Raids in Southern Lebanon
The Israeli military has initiated “targeted ground raids” on villages in southern Lebanon, supported by air force and artillery. The raids, which began recently, are aimed at Hezbollah targets near the border with Israel. The military describes the incursions as “limited, localised, and targeted” against Hezbollah.
The decision for the incursion was approved by Israeli political leaders and marks a new phase in the ongoing conflict with Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed armed group in Lebanon. While there have been no direct clashes reported, tens of thousands of people from both sides have fled their homes due to the escalating tension.
Hezbollah has retaliated with rocket attacks on Israeli targets, leading to increased violence in the region. The US has been informed about the operations, which focus on Hezbollah infrastructure near the border. Talk of a potential Israeli ground invasion has prompted calls for a ceasefire from US President Joe Biden.
The conflict has intensified, with both sides preparing for a long war. The situation remains volatile, with no clear resolution in sight.
As tensions continue to rise, the world watches closely, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the Middle East.
