YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAndrew Marr speaks to Shadow Foreign Secretary for the Conservative party Andrew Mitchell and Former U.S. ambassador to Lebanon Jeffrey Feltman as Israeli special forces have begun covert raids in Lebanon as tanks mass on the border ahead of a possible ground invasion.
It comes after Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner told LBC's Tom Swarbrick that a "ground operation" in Lebanon was part of a "huge set of tools" that Israel has to help return 60,000 Israeli citizens to their homes in its war-torn northern region.
Elite Israeli troops are understood to have begun sabotage missions, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, weapons sites and command centres. Israel wants to push Hezbollah away from the border.
The Wall Street Journal reports Israeli special forces have been carrying out 'small, targeted raids into southern Lebanon, gathering intelligence and probing ahead of a possible broader ground incursion.'
The special forces operations include scouting out Hezbollah's tunnel network along the country's border, according to reports.
