Reports indicate Israeli tanks and ground troops are advancing toward the Lebanon border as of 2:05 PM EDT here in the New York City area.
Sources close to the IDF suggest the operation could start tonight.
Word to me indicates Israel is going to "secure territory up to the Litani River" — about 18 miles from the Israeli border—to establish a “buffer zone” for Israelis to safely return to their northern homes.
Several governments, including France, have voiced opposition to an invasion, with Macron recently expressing disapproval.
