Israel and Hezbollah Exchange Strikes as Ground Operation Begins
World
The conflict along the Israel–Lebanon border has entered a new phase: Hezbollah announced strikes on Israeli military bases, while Israel launched large-scale retaliatory attacks and began advancing ground forces into Lebanese territory.
The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah stated that it had struck three Israeli military bases. According to the group, the attack was a response to Israeli strikes on its positions in Lebanon, including sites in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
In response, Israel carried out large-scale airstrikes across Lebanon. The escalation followed a decision by the Lebanese government, which had announced an immediate ban on Hezbollah’s military activities within the country.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said he had authorized the Israel Defense Forces to advance and seize additional strategic positions in Lebanon. He stated that the objective is to prevent attacks on Israeli border communities.
The situation remains highly tense, with the international community closely monitoring developments amid concerns of further escalation.
