It remains to be seen whether Israel's limited ground operations will lead to a full-scale invasion like the one back in 2006.

Apart from the ground war, Israeli forces continued their offensive targeting the so-called Iranian-backed "axis of resistance" by airstrikes to Syria following Yemen's Houthi rebels.

Israel, which has deployed ground forces again for the first time in 18 years, stresses that the operation is local and limited.

As a result, the government is expected to focus on destroying Hezbollah's military facilities 30 kilometers from the border.

Initially, only Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers must be stationed in the region according to U.N. Security Council resolutions, but Hezbollah has used it as a base.

[Jeremy Diamond / CNN Israel Correspondent: A senior Israeli official stressed the limited nature of the operation, saying it would not occupy southern Lebanon for a long time.]

Having been informed of its operational plans in advance, the United States expects Israeli forces to withdraw once these goals are achieved.

However, it is difficult to predict Israel's next move.

Depending on the situation, Israel, which has ignored the U.S. demand for a ceasefire, is also raising the possibility of an all-out war.

Apart from the ground war, Israel also continued attacks targeting other "axis of resistance" backed by Iran.

It recently flew 1,700 kilometers and launched airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi rebels, and this time it intensively attacked Damascus, the capital of Syria.

Syrian forces claimed they used air defenses to intercept drones and missiles.

Heavy airstrikes also followed in Lebanon's capital Beirut and Sidon in the south.

As the crisis of all-out war in the Middle East grew, the U.S. decided to deploy thousands more troops around three fighter battalions.

As a result, the number of U.S. troops in the Middle East, which is currently around 4,000, is expected to increase to up to 43,000.
