The Israeli army announced on Sunday that it had launched a “large-scale” offensive in the Beaufort Ridge and Wadi al-Salouqi area of southern Lebanon.
The invasion began “several days ago, with large ground forces,” military spokesman spokeswoman Ella Waweya said on X.
Waweya claimed the move was aimed at “destroying terrorist infrastructure and eliminating militants.”
The Israeli army has “crossed the Litani River and expanded their attacks against Hezbollah north of the river,” she claimed, adding that “operations are expanding into additional areas.”
Waweya said Israeli forces are operating “in the vicinity of (the city of) Nabatieh,” which she called “one of Hezbollah’s principal strongholds in southern Lebanon,” and that they are “ready to expand the attack as required.”
