Over the past two weeks, Israel has intensified airstrikes against the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah. About 2,000 people were killed in their attacks in Lebanon.
Regular Israeli infantry and armored units have joined ground operations in southern Lebanon. This information was given by the country’s military on Wednesday (October 2). However, despite sending new troops, Tel Aviv has claimed that their military operation against Hezbollah will be limited and at a local level.
Israel announced the first ground operation in Lebanon on Tuesday (October 2). They then reported that their commando and paratroop units had entered Lebanon.
Israel then said its special forces units had been involved in ground operations against Hezbollah targets across the border for months. At the same time they discovered tunnels and weapons caches under the house.
The Israeli military said today that its 36th Division’s infantry and armored forces have entered southern Lebanon. These include Golani Brigade, 188th Armored Brigade and 6th Infantry Brigade. This means that despite Israel’s talk of a limited ground operation, their operation has gone beyond a limited commando operation.

Hizbullah fighters and Israeli soldiers have been repeatedly attacking the border for almost a year. However, the Netanyahu government recently announced that it would shift its main battlefield from Gaza to Lebanon. Ever since this announcement, the Israeli army has been attacking the country one after the other.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an airstrike in Beirut last Friday. Iran and Hezbollah announced to take revenge for his murder. After killing Nasrallah, a more confident Israel now launched a ground campaign in Lebanon.
