Hezbollah has warned Israel that it is braced and ‘ready’ for war – as Israeli forces appear to be edging closer to a ground invasion of Lebanon.
Israeli special forces are already carrying out raids in Lebanon ahead of an imminent incursion aimed at ousting Hezbollah, officials claimed.
Elite commandos were said to be targeting the Iran-backed group’s infrastructure, including weapon sites and control centres, as it scrambles to recover from the loss of long-time chief Hassan Nasrallah.
‘They are targeting key sites which have been built across the border zone,’ an Israeli official told The Telegraph.
IDF tanks have massed on the northern border ahead of an anticipated incursion into Lebanon despite resounding pressure from Israel’s allies to de-escalate at once as they fear a collapse into all-out war.

Lebanon is also reported to be sending its army to the southern border. Israel maintains that its war is with Hezbollah, not the people of Lebanon, as it prepares to move north.
Hezbollah has fired rockets into northern Israel since the war in Gaza broke out last October, in response to the Israeli bombing of the Strip.
