Israel has notified the US that it intends to launch a limited ground operation into Lebanon that could begin within hours, a US official confirmed to CBS on Monday.
Other news sources have reported that an Israeli incursion could come within the coming days, which follows several Israeli strikes on key Hezbollah officials and infrastructure, namely its former secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut.
A public leak to the Wall Street Journal about small special forces targeted Israeli incursions into southern Lebanon to prepare the area for a larger attack, including starting to deal with tunnel ambush issues, also could be preparing the Israeli public and the world for the reality of a fuller ground invasion.
Since Israeli special forces are already operating in Lebanon, it is hard to imagine a larger operation is not imminent. Imo, the goal will not be to capture and occupy southern Lebanon but to pursue Hezbollah until it can no longer control any part of Lebanon and then try to make peace with a new Hezbollah free Lebanese government.
