Intense Israeli Shelling Precedes the Ground invasion into Southern Lebanon

Israel soldiers are on site in what is believed to be soldier's family members in a armor staging area at an undisclosed location in Northern Israel near the border with southern Lebanon on October 1, 2024. Israel says it is a US-backed "limited ground operation" to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure inside southern Lebanon so Hezbollah is unable to mount an October 7-style cross border attack on northern Israel.
