Israel’s Lebanon ground push fuels fears of a protracted occupation
TL;DR Summary
Israel expanded its ground operations into southern Lebanon, triggering fears of a protracted occupation as hundreds of thousands are displaced. Defence minister Katz’s remarks linking refugee return to Israeli security echo Gaza-style rhetoric, while the 2024 ceasefire is cited as having left Hezbollah in the fight and the Lebanese military to take over. Human Rights Watch warns that preventing civilians from returning could amount to a war crime, and international leaders urge against a large-scale ground offensive as the conflict reshapes regional leverage and negotiations.
