Israel’s Ground Invasion of Lebanon: What to Expect

Tensions Rise: Israel Prepares for Ground Operation in Lebanon

Israel is reportedly preparing for a ground invasion of southern Lebanon, marking its first large-scale operation in the region in 18 years.

This move follows heightened tensions with Hezbollah, particularly after Israel’s airstrikes, which targeted and killed senior Hezbollah officials, including the assassination of their leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Israeli troops have begun amassing at the border, with tanks and artillery positioned for what is expected to be a limited invasion aimed at dismantling Hezbollah’s infrastructure along the border.

The Lebanese Armed Forces and UN peacekeeping forces have reportedly pulled back from the border area, creating a buffer zone.

The situation has led to significant civilian displacement in both Lebanon and northern Israel, with thousands of people fleeing the affected regions. The U.S. has also sent reinforcements to the Middle East, signaling concerns over a potential escalation of the conflict
