According to the report, flares and explosions were seen on the border between Israel and Lebanon on Monday night into Tuesday morning. The Israeli military launched small ground raids against Hezbollah and sealed off communities along its northern border on Monday as Israeli artillery pounded southern Lebanon and signals grew that more forces could soon be sent across the border to fight the Iran-backed militants.
The report said that State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Israel informed the U.S. about the raids, which he said were described as “limited operations focused on Hezbollah infrastructure near the border. "There were no reports of direct clashes between Israeli troops and Hezbollah militants, who last engaged in ground combat on Lebanese soil during a monthlong war in 2006. Earlier, the Israeli military declared three communities along Israel's northern border to be a "closed military zone," in a possible precursor to a ground invasion of Lebanon. The order restricts entry and exit from the communities to military forces only. The towns are Metula, Misgav Am, and Kfar Giladi.
The report added that areas can also be declared closed military zones if an imminent threat is detected. A Western diplomat in Cairo whose country is directly involved in de-escalation efforts said an Israeli ground operation in Lebanon is “imminent.” The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation, said Israel had shared its plans with the U.S. and other Western allies, and conveyed the operation will “be limited.”Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged fire almost every day since the war in Gaza began, displacing tens of thousands of people in Israel and Lebanon.
Israel says it will continue to strike Hezbollah until it is safe for families to return to their homes near the Lebanon border. Hezbollah has promised to keep firing rockets into Israel until there is a cease-fire in Gaza.It was not clear if Israel had made a final decision on a broader ground operation in Lebanon. The Israeli army's radio station said a Cabinet meeting wrapped up late Monday, with Netanyahu continuing to consult with security officials.
