Israeli army begins second phase of ground operation in southern Lebanon

The Israeli army has begun the second phase of its ground operation in southern Lebanon, which the army says involves advancing toward Hezbollah’s second line of defense, Israeli daily Maariv reported Tuesday.

“The Israeli army has initiated the second phase of the ground maneuver in southern Lebanon, with the 36th Division advancing toward Hezbollah’s second defensive line,” said Maariv.

The 36th Division is an armored division and is the largest among the Israeli military formations.

According to the daily, forces from the division were involved in the new operation in southern Lebanon, including the Golani Brigade, the Paratroopers Brigade, and the 188th Armored Brigade, with combat engineers working alongside them.

The Israeli daily said the purpose of this operation is “to dismantle Hezbollah formations in the area and apply pressure on Hezbollah regarding political settlement negotiations in Lebanon.”
