Israel says its troops have begun ground operations in south-west Lebanon - until now, its invasion had focused on the eastern side of the border
The ground offensive began on 30 September, and Israel says it's targeting Hezbollah sites
Further north, Israeli air strikes on Beirut continued overnight - the IDF says it killed a Hezbollah commander on Monday
More than 400,000 people have fled into Syria since Israel began its air strikes last month, including 300,000 Syrians
Hezbollah continues to fire rockets at Israel - more than 190 were detected yesterday, and sirens sounded in northern Israel on Tuesday morning. Israel warns people across south Lebanon of attacks.
"The IDF continues to attack Hezbollah sites in and near your village, and for your own safety you are prohibited from returning to your homes until further notice," the IDF's Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee says in a post on X.
As we've reported, about 1.2 million people have been displaced in Lebanon since Israel intensified air strikes last month, according to the Lebanese government.
