This was announced by the army on Platform X early Tuesday morning. A few hours ago, "limited, localized and targeted ground attacks based on precise intelligence information against terrorist targets and infrastructure of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon" began. These targets are located in villages near the border and pose an immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel.
The Israeli air force and artillery supported the ground forces with precise attacks on military targets in the area.
The conflict between Israel and the Shiite Hezbollah militia in Lebanon has recently escalated dramatically. For days, the Israeli military has been massively attacking targets in the neighboring country, including, according to its own account, Hezbollah weapons depots. Lebanon reported hundreds of dead and injured.
According to a report by the Israeli broadcaster Kan, the offensive is primarily aimed at facilities belonging to Hezbollah's elite units. A ground offensive is not aimed at the conquest of territory, but at the destruction of military targets.
