IDF Pushes Deeper Into South Lebanon

Stand for Israel  |  November 22, 2024

The main goal of Israel’s military operation in Lebanon is to bring displaced Israelis back to their homes. The IDF is pushing deeper into southern Lebanon to end the terror threats and stabilize the border, reports The Times of Israel:

Earlier this month, the Israel Defense Forces had expanded its ground operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Troops have pushed into what the military calls the “second line” of villages, after largely completing its operations against the Lebanese terror group in the border-adjacent towns…

IDF roadblocks, set up in northern Israel to prevent civilians from driving on roads that were exposed to anti-tank missile fire from Lebanon, have all been removed in recent days.

Removing the invasion and anti-tank missile threats could enable the some 60,000 displaced Israelis from the north to return to their homes, after they were evacuated shortly after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught in the south amid fears Hezbollah would carry out a similar attack and increasing rocket fire by the terror group.
