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

Israel is preparing for a large-scale ground offensive in southern Lebanon, aiming to dismantle Hezbollah forces south of the Litani River. According to Axios, the operation will be the largest carried out in Lebanon since the 2006 war and will involve taking control of the area and destroying Hezbollah's military infrastructure. Israeli officials state that the operation will be similar to the one conducted in Gaza, indicating a harsh and extensive military response to Hezbollah's attacks. This escalation follows recent attacks by Hezbollah against Israel, where more than 200 rockets were launched in coordination with the actions of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The preparation for the operation suggests a significant increase in tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with potentially serious consequences for regional stability.
