Israel Crosses Litani River

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed that Israeli ground forces have crossed north of the Litani River in southern Lebanon for the first time in 20 years.

Netanyahu described the move as a 'tactical victory' aimed at neutralizing Hezbollah positions.

The advance marks a significant escalation in the conflict, as the Litani River has long served as a key strategic boundary.

Despite ongoing diplomatic efforts in Washington, the Israeli military has issued new evacuation orders for several Lebanese villages as operations expand.
