Israel prepares for ground offensive in Lebanon despite Biden's opposition

Israel is preparing for a possible ground offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, despite U.S. President Joe Biden's opposition. This follows the confirmed death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike, which has escalated violence in the region. Israeli forces have intensified airstrikes targeting Hezbollah sites in Beirut and southern Lebanon. The Israeli military claims to have killed several key Hezbollah commanders, while Hezbollah has vowed to continue its fight against Israel. The U.S. has ordered some embassy staff to leave Lebanon amid rising tensions. Biden stated that Nasrallah's death represents justice for his victims, while also calling for a cease-fire and emphasizing Israel's right to defend itself.
