Israel is focused on aerial offensive and has no immediate plans for a ground incursion, an Israeli military official has said. The official, speaking to Associated Press on condition of anonymity in keeping with regulations, said the strikes are aimed at curbing Hezbollah’s ability to launch more strikes into Israel. Israel’s air force carried out dozens of air strikes in southern Lebanon on Monday, killing at least 50 people, as the Israeli military threatened residents to immediately evacuate places where it claimed the Hezbollah group stores weapons.
