Israeli ground operations remain confined to southern Lebanon, where Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered an expansion of the security buffer zone toward the Litani River on March 29, following the start of limited incursions earlier in the month. Intensified airstrikes have targeted Hezbollah positions in Beirut's southern suburbs, including a strike destroying a high-rise building yesterday, but no verified reports indicate Israeli troops entering the capital. Hezbollah retaliated with rocket and drone attacks on northern Israel, sustaining cross-border escalation. Traders assess low likelihood of a Beirut ground incursion absent major shifts, given Israel's focus on southern degradation of Hezbollah capabilities and historical aversion to urban occupations like 1982, with potential UN mediation or U.S. diplomacy as key upcoming variables.
