According to reports from the Israeli press, the Israeli army is considering a “limited ground operation” in Lebanon despite opposition from the United States. The Israeli state television channel KAN suggested that the Israeli government is seriously contemplating a limited ground operation in Lebanon, but the U.S. has exerted unprecedented pressure to prevent it from happening. The report indicated that the government has not yet made a final decision on this matter, highlighting the U.S.’s belief in the necessity of reaching an agreement between Israel and Hezbollah to avoid being drawn into a large-scale military conflict. Israeli media sources suggest that the potential ground operation aims to establish a buffer zone in southern Lebanon.
