Lebanese state media reports that the Israeli army entered the southern Lebanese town of Khiam, about six kilometres (3.7 miles) from the Lebanon-Israel border, APA reports, citing The Times of Israel.
“The town of Khiam is witnessing continuous artillery shelling, while the Israeli enemy army penetrated into the town,” state media says.
A Lebanese military source told AFP yesterday that Israel had launched a ground incursion into a border area in southern Lebanon, in parallel with its campaign of airstrikes.
The IDF said that its decision to deploy troops deeper into southern Lebanon was “part of an enhanced forward defense posture” amid attacks by the Hezbollah terror group.
