Early Tuesday, Israeli ground forces entered southern Lebanon, signaling a major escalation in their offensive against Hezbollah militants and creating a new battleground in their ongoing conflict against Iranian-backed enemies. This move was captured on video by AP journalist Sam McNeil. As seen in the photo taken by AP photographer Baz Ratner, Israeli soldiers can be seen sleeping on tanks in a staging area near the Israel-Lebanon border in northern Israel on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
