The IDF’s 98th Division, an elite formation of paratrooper and commando units, led the overnight ground operation in Lebanon, the military says.
The division’s Paratroopers and Commando brigades were joined by the 7th Armored Brigade, after preparing for the operation in recent weeks.
The 98th Division previously operated in the Gaza Strip for months amid the war against Hamas.
