Israel has initiated "limited, localized, and targeted ground raids" in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah, escalating its ongoing offensive. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated the operations aim to dismantle the Iran-backed group's infrastructure threatening Israeli communities. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized the military's readiness to act from all fronts, assuring that "everything that needs to be done - will be done." As airstrikes continue, over 1,000 people have reportedly died in recent weeks, and nearly a million are displaced. The U.S. and EU have called for a ceasefire amid rising tensions in the region.
