Israel has intensified its air strikes on Lebanon to eliminate the Iran-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah. After killing Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a missile attack, the Israeli army has now started extensive ground military action.
The IDF started this ground operation early in the morning and targeted Hezbollah's bases.
Ground military action now begins.
The Israeli army said in a statement that it has launched limited and targeted ground action against Hezbollah in villages in southern Lebanon close to the border, which was threatening Israeli communities in northern Israel. After air and artillery attacks, military action occurs at the ground level.
Locals of the Lebanese border town of Aita al-Shaab also heard heavy shelling and the sound of helicopters and drones on the previous day. The Israeli army has now stopped the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and focused on Hezbollah.

Before starting the ground operation in Lebanon, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant told local council heads in northern Israel that the next phase of the war on Lebanon's southern border would begin soon. The meeting also mentioned bringing back home the Israelis who fled after Hezbollah's rocket attacks a year ago.
Israel's ground invasion has been carried out to eliminate Israel and Iran-backed militants in the Middle East.
According to two Palestinian security officials, Lebanese branch commander Munir Makda was targeted in an Israeli attack in Lebanon on Tuesday morning.
The attack took place on a building in the crowded Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp near the southern city of Sidon, sources said.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden called for a ceasefire in Lebanon hours before the Israeli attack. The US expects Israel to carry out a limited ground incursion into Lebanon but has cautioned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government against a large, long-term operation that risks a confrontation with Iran.
Hezbollah was first attacked by a pager explosion. Hezbollah accuses Israel of carrying out the pager explosion but has not made any statement on this. Two weeks later, Israel carried out several airstrikes in Lebanon and killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah on Friday.
According to the Lebanese government, the airstrikes killed several Hezbollah commanders and also killed about 1,000 civilians.
A security source said there were attacks in the southern suburbs of Beirut overnight. According to a Reuters reporter, several loud explosions were reported by the Israeli army near buildings housing Hezbollah infrastructure south of the Lebanese capital.
Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem said on Monday in his first public speech since Nasrallah's death that we are ready for a ground battle.
Naim Qassem said Hezbollah continues to fire rockets up to 150 kilometers into Israeli territory.
