IDF ground troops have crossed the Litani River, entering and securing the Beaufort Ridge and Wadi al-Saluki areas of southern Lebanon, the military announced on Sunday morning.
The operation began several days ago with the goal of eliminating the threat Hezbollah poses to the citizens of northern Israel, and is currently expanding to additional areas.
Ahead of the troops' entry, the Israel Air Force conducted extensive support strikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in the area.
Support fire for the ground troops also included artillery and tank fire.
Further, the IDF added that it is operating near Nabatieh, a significant Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon, and is prepared to expand its operations there as well.
This is a developing story.
