The Israeli military announced on Sunday that it is making preparations to shift its focus from defense to offense in operations along the northern border with Lebanon. This decision comes in the midst of escalating tensions between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
Recent clashes between the two sides have intensified following attacks by Hamas on October 7 in Israel, resulting in casualties on both sides. The conflict is part of the broader ongoing confrontations between Israel and various Iranian proxy groups in the region.
