Israel has launch 'limited' ground invasion in Lebanon
[FoxNews] Israel's ground invasion into Lebanon imminent as cabinet approves next phase of the war. Biden demands a 'ceasefire now' but sends more troops to Middle East as Israel prepares invasionThe international community is bracing for Israel's imminent invasion into southern Lebanon, as troops from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are expected to step foot into the country on Tuesday morning. A senior U.S. official confirmed the invasion plans to Fox News on Monday. It is believed that the ground campaign will be smaller in scale than the 2006 operation Israel conducted in its war with Hezbollah, and is also expected to last a shorter period of time. The ministers of Israel's political security cabinet approved the next phase of the operation in Lebanon, according to the Jerusalem Post, but it is unclear when the incursion will begin. Israel launched strikes into Lebanon on Monday night into Tuesday morning, but the ground invasion had not begun as of 1:30 a.m. local time. Following the confirmation of an imminent Israeli invasion on Monday afternoon, the Pentagon told reporters that it is sending a "few thousand" more troops to the Middle East to augment U.S. forces already there on heightened alert – just one day after President Biden said he would not deploy more troops to the region.
