"It is in no ones interest — not Israel's, not the region's, not the world's — for this conflict to spread beyond Gaza."

Hezbollah has signalled it "is willing to go all the way" toward a final border settlement if there's a Gaza cease-fire.

"I am doing my duty to prevent Lebanon from entering the war."

"We were not interested in a conflict. But if Hezbollah does start one, it will finish on Israel's terms."

"I don't know when the war in the north [will happen]. I can tell you that the likelihood of it happening in the coming months is much higher than it was in the past."

"The situation on Israel's northern border demands change... [t]he stopwatch for a diplomatic solution is running out."

"We are shifting from being passive to actively pursuing Hezbollah."

"Netanyahu clearly wants war [with Hezbollah]."

"It is likely that there is going to be a war between Hezbollah and Israel within the next six to eight months."

Will There Be an Israel-Hezbollah War?

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its special forces launched "limited, localized, and targeted" ground attacks Monday night against "Hezbollah targets and infrastructure," with the stated goal, reportedly approved by the US, of pushing Hezbollah behind the Litani River.

Hezbollah denied Israel's claim, arguing there had "not yet been any direct ground clashes between" the opposing forces. However, an Israel-based political analyst said that since Israel didn't send "an invasion force," but rather "commando units," "both sides are telling their version of the truth."

According to an Israeli reserve soldier from the commando unit, the IDF troops repelled Hezbollah scouts with artillery but didn't engage in direct combat, with Hezbollah saying it fired artillery into Israel as the IDF moved along the border.

Israel also warned Lebanese residents of more than 24 villages to "go north of the Awali River," which is several miles further into Lebanon than the Litani River. UN peacekeepers in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said Israel had also warned them of the operation.

The New York Times

The Lebanese military, which has historically kept itself out of conflicts between Hezbollah and Israel and hasn't fired a shot at Israel over the past year, said its troops have pulled back from the border.

Alarabiya

IDF chief spokesman Daniel Hagari said Israeli special forces have launched dozens of ground raids into Lebanon since last October, but that they've all occurred close to the Israeli border.
