Israeli-Lebanese Conflict Escalates with Hezbollah Strikes and Ground Invasion Threat

Tensions escalate as Israeli strikes target Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut, while Lebanese troops withdraw from positions near the Israeli border. Speculations of an imminent ground invasion increase. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, including the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and has prompted calls for a ceasefire from U.S. President Joe Biden.

Israel has targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in the Beirut suburbs amid escalating tensions.

Lebanese troops have withdrawn from positions on the southern border with Israel as a potential ground invasion looms. The Israeli military has restricted entry to certain areas in northern Israel, while an imminent incursion remains heavily speculated.

Calls from U.S. President Joe Biden for a ceasefire have so far been rejected by Israel.
