Israel Plans Ground Offensive in Lebanon – 'We Will Do What We Did in Gaza'

Israel is preparing for a large-scale ground operation in southern Lebanon, aiming to dismantle Hezbollah forces south of the Litani River. The operation, the largest since the 2006 war, will involve taking control of the area and destroying Hezbollah's military infrastructure. Israeli officials state they will follow the same tactics used in Gaza, in response to Hezbollah attacks against Israel.
