The head of Israel's military has indicated that intense airstrikes on Lebanon, targeting the Hezbollah armed group, could lead to a ground invasion.
Israel's military chief, Lt Gen Herzi Halevi, has stated that the airstrikes are aimed at preparing for a possible ground offensive and weakening Hezbollah.
The Israeli military has also called up reserve brigades for missions in northern Israel, further fueling speculation about a potential ground operation.
Diplomatic efforts are underway to broker a ceasefire, but the situation remains tense, with both sides continuing to exchange fire.
