Israeli tanks inside Israel haeading into southern Lebanon

An Israeli tank at an undisclosed location in northern Israel crosses a road as a column of Israeli tanks and armored personnel carriers (APCs) make their way into southern Lebanon during ground operations 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.
