IDF Northern Operation, Lebanon ground invasion, Hezbollah war

IDF gives green light to Northern Front Amid Potential Lebanon Ground Operation

The Northern Command, led by MG Ori Gordin, has been finalizing operational plans in collaboration with BG Moran Omer of the 36th Division, BG Guy Levy of the 98th Division, and BG Shai Klepper of the 91st Division as part of their preparation for a ground invasion into Lebanon.

In preparation for potential combat, IDF soldiers from the 188th Brigade have been conducting training exercises near the northern border and at command headquarters, according to Israel National News reports. Additionally, community defense units have been running drills to address various scenarios and access preparedness for a ground invasion in the potentially immediate future.

Recently, the Washington Post reported that the U.S. government has been informed of Israel's intention to initiate a limited ground operation in southern Lebanon soon. An American official indicated that this operation would be smaller in scale compared to Israel's actions during the Second Lebanon War in 2006, which followed a deadly cross-border raid by Hezbollah that resulted in the deaths and abductions of multiple IDF soldiers.

The aim of this upcoming operation is to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon and restore security to northern Israel, where over 60,000 residents have been evacuated from their homes in the past year due to more than 8,000 rockets fired by Hezbollah since the October 7 attacks.
