Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that Israel will widen its invasion of southern Lebanon.
Netanyahu said Israel would expand what he called the “existing security strip” in Lebanon as Israeli forces continue to target the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group.
“We are determined to fundamentally change the situation in the north,” he said on a visit to northern Israel, adding that “Hezbollah still has residual capability to fire rockets at us”.

In Lebanon, officials say more than 1,100 people have been killed in the fighting since the Iran war began.

Also on Sunday, a top Iranian official warned the US against a ground invasion, saying its troops would be set “on fire”, as regional diplomats met in Pakistan in hopes of opening direct US-Iran talks and ending the month-long war.
