Watch: Israeli Troops Prepare To ‘Dismantle Hezbollah Infrastructure’ In Southern Lebanon

On October 8, the Israeli military released footage reportedly showing Israeli troops preparing for operations in southern Lebanon. According to the army's statement, these soldiers are working with additional forces to identify and dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure in the region.Lebanon’s government, which is financially strained, has reported that approximately 1.2 million people have been displaced due to the ongoing conflict, with efforts to support them proving challenging. Israel has stated that its goal is to weaken Hezbollah, facilitating the return of displaced residents to northern Israel. Hezbollah, in contrast, has said it will cease firing rockets at Israel only if a cease-fire is reached in Gaza, in solidarity with Hamas.Israel has urged residents of several communities across southern Lebanon, particularly those near the U.N.-declared buffer zone established after the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, to evacuate.
