IDF in its statement on the X network stated that the ground operation is being conducted against terrorist targets and infrastructure of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. “These targets are located in villages near the border and pose an immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel,” the army wrote.
She stated that she operates according to the methodical plan established by the General Staff and the Northern Command, which IDF soldiers have been rehearsing and preparing in recent months. “The Israeli air force and IDF artillery are supporting ground forces with precision strikes on military targets in the area,” the army said.
The invasion is an extension of the IDF Northern Arrows operation, which was launched against Hezbollah earlier this month.
