Israel begins ground operations in southern Lebanon

Israel has launched ground operations into southern Lebanon. The military describes the incursion as a 'limited' ground assault, stating it is targeting Hezbollah forces.

Israeli opposition figures have voiced both support and criticism for the military offensive. The operation opens a new northern front for Israel, which is already engaged in conflict in Gaza.

Some reports question whether Lebanese health workers were targeted during the initial strikes. The situation is described by observers as creating a 'terrible feeling of déjà vu,' referencing past conflicts between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
