Israel Confirms Its Ground Invasion Of Lebanon Has Begun
The US says it was informed of the Israeli plans ahead of the invasion
The Israeli military announced early Tuesday morning that its ground invasion of Lebanon has started, confirming earlier reports that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers were operating on the ground inside Lebanon.
The IDF said its troops are conducting “limited, localized, and targeted ground raids” against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon as Israeli airstrikes continue across the country. The ground raid comes after a week of heavy Israeli airstrikes that have killed over 1,000 people , including many civilians.
While the Biden administration has claimed it wants a ceasefire in Lebanon, it is supportive of the Israeli invasion and said it was informed of the plan. A US official told The Times of Israel that the administration has accepted Israel’s goal of removing Hezbollah positions from near its northern border but is concerned Israeli forces could get bogged down in Lebanon.
Some US officials are unhappy with President Biden’s backing for Israel’s escalations, with one telling HuffPost that the US was permitting “a nihilistic regional murder spree.”
A second US official speaking to HuffPost was asked about the claim that the ground invasion will be limited and said, “It will be big. Everyone who says it’s going to be ‘limited’ is a white man who thinks a million dead brown people is ‘limited.'”
