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.
