The Israeli military has initiated a "limited, localized, and targeted" ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, according to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). This operation comes as the IDF continues to shell areas near the border and conduct airstrikes in Beirut. The military emphasized that these ground raids are based on precise intelligence aimed at Hezbollah's terrorist targets and infrastructure. The situation has escalated, with Lebanon reporting that Israeli strikes have resulted in the deaths of 95 people in the past 24 hours. The IDF's actions are described as a response to immediate threats posed to Israeli communities from the region.
