Israeli troops conduct limited ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon

Israeli troops have launched a limited ground operation in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah, aiming to push the group away from the Israeli border. The operation involves targeted raids based on precise intelligence and is expected to last for days. This escalation follows ongoing violence between Israel and Hezbollah, which began after Hezbollah fired at Israel in support of Hamas. Recent clashes have displaced thousands and resulted in significant casualties on both sides. The U.S. and other countries have called for a cease-fire, emphasizing the need for a diplomatic resolution to ensure safety for civilians. The situation marks a significant shift from the relative calm that existed between Israel and Lebanon prior to last year.
