Israeli commander says troops are 10km into Lebanon and 'do not intend to pull back'

“Israeli commander says troops are 10km into Lebanon and 'do not intend to pull back' Raf Milo, commander of Israel’s Northern Command, announced that Israeli forces have invaded 10km into Lebanese territory in the south and “do not intend to pull back”. Milo told local officials that Israeli troops are “clearing” an area spanning 60 Lebanese villages, according to comments published by the Israeli military. He called this advancement “significant” but added “we still have much to do” and said that the military is prepared to “continue as long as needed” to dismantle Hezbollah. This comes as further attacks on Lebanon killed at least 28 people on Thursday, including women and children, in ongoing strikes across the southern region of the country.
