Israel Deploys Troops on Border, Army Chief Warns of Possible Ground Operation in Lebanon

ai generated text

Israeli military officials, including Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, have been making statements indicating a potential escalation of the conflict in Lebanon. Halevi told troops that they will continue to attack Hezbollah, and that their entry into the region will show Hezbollah what it means to face a professional combat force. The Israeli military is reportedly gearing up for ground operations in Lebanon, with thousands of personnel on standby for a possible invasion. The goal of these operations is to destroy Hezbollah's infrastructure and encircle its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

1. War is not inevitable, a diplomatic solution is indeed possible.
2. A diplomatic solution is indeed possible. In recent days, we've worked with our American partners on a temporary ceasefire platform of 21 days to allow for negotiations.
Emmanuel Macron

1. We are firmly calling on Israel to stop the escalation in Lebanon and Hezbollah to stop firing toward Israel.
Keir Starmer

1. Israel must grant humanitarian access to civilians in line with its obligations under international humanitarian law. There can be no more excuses.
2. We need a cease-fire so this can be sorted out diplomatically.
3. I'm calling for all parties to step back from the brink, to de-escalate.
Israel Defense Forces
1. In total, over 280 Hezbollah terror targets have been struck today in Lebanon, and the IDF (military) is continuing to conduct strikes against additional targets.

1. Hezbollah is definitely trying to escalate the situation.
Herzi Halevi
Israel Defense Forces
1. To do this, we are preparing for the course of the maneuver, and the sense is that your military boots, your maneuver boots, will enter enemy territory.
2. We are striking targets and preparing for the next phases.
3. You are coming in much stronger than them, much more experienced than them; go in, destroy the enemy there, and go destroy the infrastructure.
4. You can hear the planes here; we are attacking all day, both to prepare the ground for the possibility of your entry, but also to continue striking Hezbollah.
5. We are preparing the process of a manoeuvre, which means your military boots, your manoeuvring boots, will enter enemy territory, enter villages that Hezbollah has prepared as large military outposts, with underground infrastructure, staging points, and launchpads into our territory [from which to] carry out attacks on Israeli civilians.
6. Your entry into those areas with force, your encounter with Hezbollah operatives, will show them what it means to face a professional, highly skilled and battle-experienced force.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Israeli Government
1. We are striking Hezbollah with blows it never imagined. We are doing this with full force, we are doing this with guile.
2. I can't go into detail about everything we do. But I can tell you one thing: We are determined to return our residents in the north safely to their homes.
Shahin Modarres

1. He is a central piece of the organisation, but he's one of the less famous characters of Hezbollah and more discreet.
