Israel intensifies strikes in Lebanon as ground invasion plans advance

Israel has carried out a series of intense air raids in southern Lebanon over two days, causing major damage and killing dozens of people. The strikes have also injured journalists, including a crew from the Russian state broadcaster RT, despite Israel saying it provided a warning.

Hezbollah says it is now battling advancing Israeli ground troops in the area. The fighting comes as Israeli officials are actively contemplating and planning for a larger ground incursion into Lebanon against Hezbollah.
