The Israeli army has penetrated 48 kilometers into Lebanon and freed some rural areas from the control of Hezbollah. According to the information received, Hezbollah fighters fled the area after seeing the Israeli army from a distance. The Israeli army has strengthened its influence in the area of southern Lebanon. However, Israel has lost 8 of its soldiers in the operation against Hezbollah.
Israeli forces entered Lebanon by land for the fourth time in 50 years. Israel last entered Lebanon in 2006 during the 34-day war. However, Israel described the 34-day war as a limited operation. Similarly, the entry of Israeli forces into Lebanon has also been considered a limited operation in which the help of the Air Force is also being taken.
Fighter planes provide backup to the army by firing bombers and missiles. Israel made it clear that it had no intention of occupying Lebanon, although it did not explain what its other strategy was. According to the information received, on October 1, the Israeli army freed 24 villages in southern Lebanon from the control of Hezbollah. However, Lebanese Hezbollah spokesman Mohammed Afif rejected the Israeli military's claim.
