Israel has officially declared that stopping Hezbollah's attacks in the north to allow residents to return is now a key war objective. The country is contemplating a broader military operation that could potentially escalate into a full-scale conflict.
Israeli officials have issued warnings of more substantial military actions to cease the almost daily attacks that began following the onset of the yearlong Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Israel has responded with airstrikes and targeted senior Hezbollah commanders, raising concerns of an imminent all-out war.
