The Israeli military has released footage claiming that they conducted previous ground operations in Lebanon. According to a spokesperson from the Israel Defence Forces, Israeli forces have been conducting ground raids in southern Lebanon for months. The operations have reportedly led to the discovery of Hezbollah tunnels and weapon caches hidden under homes in the area.
In the video released by the Israeli military, the yellow and green flag of Hezbollah can be seen alongside a cache of weapons. The military spokesperson, Daniel Hagar, alleged that Hezbollah had turned villages in Lebanon near the Israeli border into military bases, with plans to launch an attack on Israel. Hagar further claimed that Hezbollah was preparing for an assault on Israeli homes along the northern border, similar to an incident that occurred on October 7th.
Israel recently announced that it had carried out “targeted” raids in southern Lebanon. This marks the first time Israel has conducted a ground invasion into Lebanon since 2006 when the two countries were engaged in a month-long war.
The situation remains tense as both Israel and Hezbollah remain on high alert. Stay updated for more developments on this story.
