Israel vows to escalate campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon

In March 2026, Israel announced it would escalate its military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon. The intensified operations will target bridges over the Litani River and involve accelerated demolitions in border areas. Israeli officials indicated that this campaign is expected to be prolonged. These actions are reportedly linked to the ongoing war on Iran. The stated reason for the escalation is to counter Hezbollah's activities. The location of the increased military activity is primarily focused on southern Lebanon, specifically near the Litani River and border regions.
