Israel has launched ground raids targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon, focusing on villages close to the border. The incursions, backed by airstrikes and artillery, follow the death of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike. Israeli forces reportedly entered Hezbollah tunnels as part of a "methodical plan" prepared by the IDF. Despite international calls for de-escalation, including from US President Joe Biden and UN leaders, Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized the fight is ongoing. Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Naim Qassem, declared the group is ready for further conflict with Israel.
