Israel has told the US it plans to launch a limited ground incursion into Lebanon as soon as Monday, a US official has said.
Hezbollah’s deputy leader said it’s ready for an Israeli ground offensive, as Israel continues air strikes across Lebanon.
It’s the first speech by a high-ranking official since Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and Naim Qassem said the battle "may be long".
In Lebanon, officials said more than 1,000 have been killed in the past two weeks, while up to a million people may now be displaced.
