Sep 30, 2024, 03:19 PM

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has indicated that Israel is preparing for a limited ground operation in Lebanon, focusing on Hezbollah positions near the border. This follows urgent talks with top IDF officials and the mobilization of Israeli forces along the northern border. The U.S. anticipates that the incursion could start imminently, with the goal of clearing out Hezbollah infrastructure. Reports suggest that small-scale operations have already begun, targeting Hezbollah sites. Gallant emphasized that the elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is a significant but not final step, and that Israel will use all its capabilities to ensure the safety of its northern communities.
