<div class="field field-field-text"><p style="line-height:1.38">Raf Milo, commander of Israel’s Northern Command, announced that Israeli forces have invaded 10km into Lebanese territory in the south and “do not intend to pull back”.</p>
<p>Milo told local officials that Israeli troops are “clearing” an area spanning 60 Lebanese villages, according to comments published by the Israeli military.</p>
<p>He called this advancement “significant” but added “we still have much to do” and said that the military is prepared to “continue as long as needed” to dismantle Hezbollah.</p>
<p>This comes as further attacks on Lebanon killed at least 28 people on Thursday, including women and children, in ongoing strikes across the southern region of the country.</p>
