Israel Ends Ground Military Offensive in Lebanon

CROSSFIREARABIA – The Israeli army announced the end of its ground invasion of southern Lebanon as reported by Channel 11 and the Kann official channel.

The announcement, which is trending was made, Friday evening and would take one to two weeks for a complete withdrawal.

The news of the end of ground operations was made after the Israeli army suffered huge losses against Hezbollah fighters.

This is seen as a humiliating defeat for the Israel army which has been trying to enter Lebanon from the south and east of the country through the occupied Golan Heights since the beginning of October.

On the southern Lebanese border Israeli troops made some in-roads over the past weeks, but they would go in one or two kilometers inside Lebanese territory but quickly withdraw because of heavy resistance from Hezbollah fighters.

At least nine journalists were injured. They are Ahmed Mansour, Hassan Eslaih, Ahmed Al-Agha, Mohammad Fayek, Abdallah Al-Attar, Ihab Al-Bardini, Mahmoud Awad, Majed Qdeih, and Ali Eslaih.

“(Israeli) Missiles burned Colleague Ahmed Mansour and is still in intensive care, suffering from severe burns as a result of the targeting of the tent where he is sitting in the journalists’ camp at Nasser Hospital,” Wael Abo Omar, a Palestinian journalist in the blockaded enclave, said on X.

Mahmoud Bassam, a photojournalist based in Gaza, said Mansour “needs a miracle” to recover from the severe burns.
