ISRAEL ramped up its ground offensive against Hezbollah along the southern section of the Lebanese coast on Tuesday, deploying more troops and urging civilians near the Mediterranean to evacuate.
The Iran-backed Hezbollah group said it fired rockets at the Israeli port city of Haifa, after the Israeli military reported 85 projectiles crossing from Lebanon.
The latest escalation followed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's vow to fight a “sacred war” until Hezbollah and Hamas are defeated.
Israel expanded operations in Lebanon nearly a year after Hezbollah began exchanging fire in support of its ally, Hamas, following the Palestinian group's deadly attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
While battling Hamas in Gaza, Israel has vowed to secure its northern border with Lebanon to allow tens of thousands of Israelis displaced by Hezbollah's cross-border fire to return home.
Both Hamas and Hezbollah have pledged no let-up against Israel, and on Tuesday Hezbollah's deputy leader Naim Qassem said the group would make it impossible for Israelis to return to the north.

Dropped catches at Dubai: Coach George explains why
HE last two group matches of the ongoing T20 World Cup at the Dubai International Stadium were vital for more than one reason. It had a future of six teams in the World Cup depending on the result of that match. However, for the fans watching from the stadium or their homes, the two matches will be remembered for the amount of dropped catches they witnessed. Whether it was Pakistan or England, both teams that eventually could not make it to the semifinals, were the culprits for dropping as many as six catches each. The Sharjah Cricket Stadium, the other venue of the tournament, has also witnessed many dropped catches, but it has not been as bad as the Dubai Stadium.
