Israeli Forces Launch "Targeted Operation" Against Hezbollah in Lebanon
"Establishing a Large-Scale Buffer Zone Near the Border"
The Israeli ground forces have launched a "targeted ground operation" aimed at key Hezbollah targets backed by Iran.
On March 16 (local time), the Israeli Defense Forces announced that the 91st Division, which had been deployed to the eastern border with Lebanon, began a surprise search operation over the weekend and, during the operation, engaged in combat and killed Hezbollah operatives.
The Israeli Defense Forces explained that this operation is a measure to establish a large-scale buffer zone near the border in response to Hezbollah attacks that began earlier this month as a result of the situation in the Middle East. A spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces emphasized, "This operation is intended to destroy terrorist infrastructure and eliminate terrorists in order to remove threats," adding, "It will provide an additional safety net for residents in northern Israel."
