Israel says more forces move deeper into southern Lebanon
The Israeli army says it has pushed even more forces deeper into southern Lebanon as part of an expanded buffer zone, established after Hezbollah began attacking Israel earlier this month, according to Times of Israel.
The 36th Division, which began a raid in southern Lebanon last week, began a new “targeted ground operation toward an additional objective” in recent days, the military says. Before the troops pushed into the area, the Israeli army says it carried out massive airstrikes and artillery shelling.
The newspaper indicated that the Israeli army says the ground operation is aimed at expanding “the forward defense area.”
In addition to the 36th Division’s raid, the army announced yesterday that the 91st “Galilee” Regional Division was also conducting a “targeted ground operation” in the eastern sector of southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, the 146th Reserve Division remains deployed defensively to the western sector of southern Lebanon.
The Israeli army has been preparing to deploy even more forces in southern Lebanon and further expand its buffer zone to push away the threat of Hezbollah from the border.
