Israel announces new ground operations for LebanonIran warns Israel against new attacksUN urges diplomatic solution
Israel’s military said on Tuesday it had begun ground operations in southwest Lebanon, expanding its invasion to a new zone a year after exchanges of fire began with armed group Hezbollah and amid pleas by the UN for a diplomatic solution.
The regional tensions triggered a year ago by Palestinian armed group Hamas’s attack on southern Israel have spiralled to a string of Israeli operations by land and air over Lebanon and direct attacks by Iran onto Israeli military installations.
