"The Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir, approved plans yesterday (Saturday) for the advancement of targeted ground operations in Lebanon," the IDF wrote on Telegram. Zamir said that the operation against Hezbollah had only begun. "The operation against Hezbollah is a prolonged one, and we are prepared for it," he was quoted as saying by the IDF. In early March, Hezbollah resumed active military operations against Israel following the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In response, the Israeli army launched intensive strikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut and dozens of cities and towns in southern and eastern Lebanon. On March 16, the Israeli army officially announced the start of a ground operation in southern Lebanon.
