Israel has expanded ground operations deeper into southern Lebanon as tensions with Hezbollah escalate sharply despite ongoing ceasefire efforts. Massive Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah-linked sites across multiple regions, including Nabatiyeh, where huge explosions sent thick smoke across the skyline. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a 'deepening' military offensive as Israeli forces reportedly pushed beyond the security zone and north of the Litani River. Hezbollah responded with drones, rockets and artillery attacks on advancing Israeli troops. The widening conflict is now triggering fears across Beirut, with civilians in southern suburbs bracing for further escalation as fresh Israeli evacuation warnings spread across several Lebanese regions.
