The IDF intensified the bombing of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in late September and has since launched ground raids across the border. West Jerusalem said that the goal of the operation is to make northern Israel safe for the return of some 70,000 residents who fled from Hezbollah attacks.

More than 2,000 people have been killed in Lebanon and over 1.2 million were displaced since Israel launched its Operation Northern Arrows on September 23, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
