Israel's Lebanon Strikes: Long-Term Presence Expected

0:00It's March 6, here's your global news in two minutes. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah and Lebanon will keep going even after the joint U.S. and Israeli air campaign against Iran ends. A source close to Israel's military plan says the two fights are not linked at all. Earlier this week, Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel, leading to Israeli attacks on Beirut's southern suburbs and parts of eastern and southern Lebanon. The Israeli military aims to remove the threat from the group. Both sides have issued evacuation warnings. Israel told people in Beirut's southern areas and a wide zone in the south to leave. Hezbollah urged Israelis near the border to get out too. Security officials in Lebanon and abroad now expect Israel to maintain operations there long after the Iran conflict stops. They predict a long-term Israeli presence along the entire southern border strip. Israel has boosted troop numbers in Lebanon for defense and says it will not pull people from his northern towns. This help ministry reports 123 deaths and 683 injuries from the strike so far.
