The Israeli army has said it started a "limited, localised" ground invasion in Lebanon, saying it will continue according to the situational assessment and in parallel to the war in besieged Gaza. A military statement said on early Tuesday that "in accordance with the decision of the political echelon, a few hours ago, the IDF (army) began limited, localised and targeted ground raids based on precise intelligence against Hezbollah targets and infrastructure in southern Lebanon." "These targets are located in villages close to the border and pose an immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel," the statement added.
