Israel, which was killed in action, moves to expand ground war...an air strike on more than 200 sites.

Israel is moving to expand ground fighting across the southern part of the country after the deaths in Lebanon's ground operations.

Israel has also increased the intensity of its airstrikes, striking central Beirut with cruise missiles.

I'm a YouTube reporter on the report.

A day after nine deaths in southern Lebanon, Israeli forces ordered 25 more villages to be introduced.

Among them were several villages and Navatyeh beyond the buffer zone set by the United Nations in 2006.

With a population of 90,000, Navatye is the largest city in southern Lebanon.

It was initially declared a limited and local war operation, but it is interpreted as an indication of its willingness to advance deep inland depending on the situation.

Large tanks and troops have already gathered on Israel's northern border to prepare for expanded operations.

Lebanon's government forces also began fighting after Israeli gunfire killed them amid Hezbollah's ongoing counteroffensive.

As the battle intensifies, there are even observations that it could fall into a quagmire of a long-term war like in the past.

Israeli forces constantly bombarded Beirut, the capital, with airstrikes.

Following the destruction of Hezbollah's health center in the center with cruise missiles, Hezbollah's intelligence headquarters also launched airstrikes.

Israel's military says it has hit more than 200 targets across Lebanon.

The Lebanese government has criticized the indiscriminate attack on even rescuers, including firefighters.

The World Health Organization also expressed concern that nearly 30 medical personnel were killed in Lebanon in a single day.
