Israel gives signs that it is preparing a ground offensive in Lebanon

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant hinted today that Israel is preparing for a ground offensive in Lebanon as airstrikes have continued, including hitting a high-rise apartment building in central Beirut and killing three Palestinian militants. The militant group Hezbollah vowed it was prepared for a long war after Israel killed its chain of command, including the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Israeli soldiers and tanks were deployed in northern Israel on Monday, hours after Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant hinted at Israel's preparations for a ground offensive in Lebanon.

In a meeting with the Israeli forces stationed along the border, Minister Gallant emphasized that the "mission" as he said, of the Israeli army is to return the inhabitants of the northern part of the country to their homes.

"The elimination of Hassan Nasrallah was a very important step, but not the only one. We're going to use all the capacities we have, and if someone on the other end doesn't understand what that means, all capacities means all capacities. You are part of this effort and we are confident that you will achieve this goal", he declared.

His statement comes as the acting leader of the militant group Hezbollah, Naim Kassem, vowed to continue the fight against Israel, saying his organization, which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States, is ready to continue the fight. after the losses inflicted by Israel.

"We know the battle may be long and our options are open. We will face any situation. And we are prepared if the Israelis decide to enter by land, the resistance forces are ready for a land confrontation," he said.

Last week, Israeli airstrikes killed the militant group's leader and six of its top commanders, and hit thousands of targets across various parts of Lebanon.

On Monday morning, a residential building in downtown Beirut was hit by an airstrike, completely destroying it. During the attack, three Palestinian militants lost their lives, a signal that for Israel there is no part of Lebanon that is inviolable.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby expressed support for Israel and said the United States is closely monitoring the situation.

"We are watching the situation very closely to see how -- if and how -- Hezbollah and Iran will react, along with militant groups in Iraq and Syria. We need to be ready for some kind of response. We have to make sure we are ready, and we are. We believe that we have the capacities we need in the region. But for now it is unclear. It's too early to know," he declared on the ABC TV show "This Week".

The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that about a thousand Lebanese have lost their lives and about six thousand have been injured during the last two weeks./VOA
