Israeli military says regular infantry, armored units joining limited ground operation in southern Lebanon

The Israeli military has announced that regular infantry and armored units are now joining its ground operations in southern Lebanon, after previously using special forces for months to conduct raids against Hezbollah targets. The addition of these troops, including the Golani Brigade and Armored Brigade, indicates that the operation has expanded beyond limited commando raids. The goal of the ground operation is to destroy tunnels and infrastructure along the Israel-Lebanon border, with no plans to target Beirut or major cities in southern Lebanon.
