The Israel Defense Forces may have begun, or is about to begin, small operations across the Lebanon border to take out nearby Hezbollah positions, two US officials tell ABC.

The report refers to small-scale “border movements.”

The officials tell the US outlet that Israel does not appear to have decided whether to launch a full ground operation into Lebanon, but that it would likely be limited in scope if it does.

The officials say that in order for Israel to fulfill its aim of enabling the some 60,000 displaced Israelis to return home, decapitating the Hezbollah leadership will not be enough.
