Israel expands ground operations and strikes bridges in southern Lebanon

The Israeli military has expanded its ground operations into southern Lebanon, destroying key bridges in the area. The IDF says it is targeting Hezbollah's Radwan Force infrastructure and has captured fighters during these raids.

In response, Hezbollah says it conducted dozens of military operations against Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has publicly called for Israel to annex southern Lebanon, though this is a political statement, not official policy.
