The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have launched targeted ground raids in southern Lebanon, focusing on Hezbollah strongholds near the border. The operation aims to neutralize Hezbollah militants who have turned Lebanese villages into military bases, poised for attacks on Israeli communities. IDF officials vow to prevent another October 7-style massacre and ensure Israeli families can return to safety. This limited incursion underscores escalating tensions, as Israel seeks to defend its northern border from Hezbollah’s growing threat.
