Israel escalates operations in south Lebanon

Israeli forces have conducted a deeper ground incursion into southern Lebanon for the second time in 48 hours, targeting and destroying IEDs that had been prepared beforehand. The operation is part of a broader Israeli military campaign involving demolitions of infrastructure across the region. The IDF actions are being framed as retaliatory, though the source claims they are not in response to a specific ceasefire violation. This escalation continues despite the recently announced ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah.
