Israel launches ground incursion in Southern Lebanon

National Public Radio (NPR) of the United States reported that Israeli commandos have begun operations inside Lebanese territory. This media outlet added that evidence suggests Israel will send more forces to southern Lebanon.

Reports also indicate that the Israeli army has launched artillery attacks on southern Lebanon, signaling an escalation of hostilities in the region.

The Al-Hadath network, citing informed sources, reported that Israel’s artillery attacks on southern Lebanon are part of preparations for a ground offensive.

NBC News, quoting a U.S. official, stated that the Israeli army’s ground operation in Lebanon will be limited in scope and duration.

According to reports, Israeli forces in southern Lebanon aim to target Hezbollah’s weapon depots, signaling a tactical approach to the conflict.

Reuters, citing eyewitnesses and a security source, reported that the Lebanese army has withdrawn from several positions along the border with Israel.

A source in the Lebanese army told Al Arabiya that, due to Israeli threats of a ground invasion, the army has repositioned its forces in southern Lebanon.

Media outlets close to Hezbollah confirmed that the Lebanese army has vacated several observation posts near the Israeli border as tensions rise.

U.S. President Joe Biden, who has been unsuccessful in persuading Israel to limit its attacks on Hezbollah or Hamas in Gaza, has called for a ceasefire in the region.

Israel has ignored ceasefire requests and calls to avoid further escalation, with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant informing northern Israeli mayors that the next phase of the war will soon begin.

The situation in southern Lebanon continues to escalate, with Israeli forces expanding their ground operations and Hezbollah preparing for confrontation. The international community’s calls for a ceasefire remain unheeded, and the conflict has already displaced over a million people, signaling the urgent need for diplomatic intervention.
