🇱🇧🇮🇱 Israel is backing off from a full-scale ground invasion on Lebanon, the Wall Street Journal reports

Israel has ruled out a large-scale ground offensive in Lebanon, focusing instead on limited raids against Hezbollah positions near the border.

Washington Post quoting an Israeli official:

"Our goal is to deal with Hezbollah strongholds, which are potential sources for launching an attack on northern Israel.

Supported by air and artillery, these operations have not reported any direct clashes with Hezbollah militants so far."

The last night's attempt was probably just a test, They probably concluded that they are facing Gaza on steroids, where, according to the oppositionist Lapid, they lost 12 brigades, which are probably far more.
