Israel launches ground invasion into Southern Lebanon

Israel has launched a ground invasion into southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah military infrastructure near the border. This marks Israel's first incursion into Lebanon in nearly two decades. Military officials stated troops began crossing the border early Tuesday, aiming to hit sites posing an “immediate threat” to northern Israeli communities.

The invasion follows extensive airstrikes in Lebanon that have reportedly killed hundreds. Although the operation was described as limited, there's speculation it could expand. Hezbollah has vowed to confront Israeli forces, asserting they are prepared for ground engagement.
