The Day Israel Launched Ground Operations in Southern Lebanon

Early morning coverage focused on Israel's post-war conditions for Lebanon, including a buffer zone and representative office, continuing diplomatic tensions from previous days. By mid-morning, editorial priority shifted to Israel's announcement of limited ground operations in southern Lebanon, with multiple outlets detailing military movements and the imposition of curfews. Afternoon reporting centered on escalating ground clashes, with Israeli forces targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in border villages and Hezbollah responding with anti-tank missiles. Evening coverage maintained the military focus, with Israeli officials threatening to expand operations and destroy Hezbollah's structure, while Western allies refused U.S. calls to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
