• Israeli forces will 'very soon go into action' near the country's border with Lebanon, the country's defence minister has told troops, as fears mount that clashes with Hezbollah could spiral into a full-scale regional war.

  Defence Minister Yoav Gallant told troops near the border with the besieged Gaza Strip that others were being deployed to Israel's north 'so the forces [there] are reinforced'.

  He added that reservists would be gradually released 'to prepare and come ready' for future operations. Since the outbreak of war between Hamas and Israel on October 7, the Lebanese-Israeli border has seen near-daily exchanges of fire between Israel's Defence Forces and Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah movement, a Hamas ally.

  It comes following reports that Israel is determined to prevent a repeat of the bloody invasion in the north of its territory, and that 'Israeli doctrine is to take the war to the other side.'
