Israeli ground operation in Lebanon has begun
Israel initiated its ground operation in Lebanon on July 12, 2006, after Hezbollah kidnapped two soldiers. Known as the Invasion, this offensive aimed not only to secure the hostages' release but also to weaken Hezbollah's enhanced military strength in the region. Initially, Israel launched airstrikes against Hezbollah positions, but faced intense resistance from well-embedded Lebanese fighters in the mountainous terrain, making military advances challenging. The conflict resulted in high casualties, leading to growing discontent within Israel. The international community monitored the escalating violence, with numerous countries condemning actions from both sides.
