The IDF says another division is being deployed to southern Lebanon for ground operations against Hezbollah.
The 36th Division is now joining the 98th Division, which had entered Lebanon on Monday night.
The military has described the ground operations in southern Lebanon as “limited, localized, and targeted raids,” with the goal of demolishing Hezbollah’s infrastructure in the border area.
