The south of Lebanon has once again been the scene of intense bombings this Tuesday, as part of the offensive that the Israeli army defines as a "limited and selective operation"

The explosions were audible and visible in several areas near the border, raising tension in the region.

According to Israeli military sources, the deployment on the ground continues to expand. A spokesperson confirmed on Monday the sending of new ground troops to southern Lebanon, reinforcing the military presence in a particularly sensitive area due to militia activity.

Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir stated that the armed forces are "determined to intensify the operation until all objectives are met," indicating a possible prolongation of the conflict in the coming days. Meanwhile, the Shiite group Hezbollah has maintained a constant offensive since the start of the war with Iran, launching rockets and drones towards northern Israel.

This new surge in violence increases the risk of a larger escalation in the Middle East, with unpredictable consequences for regional stability and international security.
