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.
