Israeli Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has warned that military operations in Lebanon could expand further.


On July 29, local time, Zamir visited the southern operational area in Lebanon and stated, "If necessary, we will advance deeper and reach other areas."


Zamir emphasized, "The military operations ongoing on various fronts are not over yet," adding that plans are being prepared to respond to any changes in the situation.


This statement comes amid rising tensions between the Israeli military and the Iran-aligned militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.


On the same day, the Israeli military reported that Hezbollah attacked an Israeli unmanned bulldozer with a drone carrying explosives in southern Lebanon. No casualties were reported.


The Israeli military has classified this attack as a violation of the ceasefire agreement and is reviewing its response options.
