Israel launched a ground operation in southern Lebanon 24 hours ago. A limited operation in certain villages where there are Hezbollah men. France 2 journalists were able to approach Israeli troops engaged in one of these incursions.
Southern Lebanon was under fire from the Israeli army on Tuesday October 1st. This carries out targeted fire inside Lebanon: it is the much-announced land operation which then began. In the very exposed village of Margaliot (Israel), few residents remained there. Among the few people present, an Israeli farmer said: “They are shooting at us, we want peace, it is not Israel that is shooting at Hezbollah, it is them.”
Assemblies of tanks are ready to attack. A communications operation by the Israeli army wants to show that this is not an invasion but incursions: “You have to look in the mouths of the tunnels which are invisible from the sky”explains a spokesperson for the Israeli army. The army also released images of bombing of Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. It also shows tunnels dug by the militia near the border with Israel.
