Israel is preparing for a potential ground operation in Lebanon, as Hezbollah fired rockets and a missile aimed at Tel Aviv, marking its deepest strike yet. Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi indicated that recent airstrikes were to prepare for possible troop entry and degrade Hezbollah. Over 600 people have been killed in the attacks, including women and children. Israel activated two reserve brigades for northern missions, signaling tougher action. In Eilat, a drone attack injured two people, claimed by Iranian-backed militias. Tensions have escalated since Israel’s war with Hamas began 11 months ago.
