IDF says 98th division operating in southern Lebanon

Reporting from Kiryat Shmona

The Israel Defense Forces said this morning that its 98th Division began “limited, localized, targeted” operations in southern Lebanon last night, aimed at pushing Hezbollah forces farther from the border.

It said soldiers had spent recent weeks training for the operation after spending “many months” in Gaza.

The Israeli military said on October 1 troops were involved in "intense fighting" as they started a ground incursion into southern Lebanon, more than a week after it launched intense airstrikes on the country that have killed hundreds.
