The secret operation of Egoz and Golani north of the Litani River revealed

Assessment
A secret Israeli commando operation north of the Litani River has been revealed, with troops from the Egoz and Golani units crossing the river in Namer armored personnel carriers. The operation reached the outskirts of the village of Zoutar al-Sharqiya, about 10 kilometers from the Israeli border. This disclosure signals a significant escalation in Israeli ground activity beyond the Litani, a line long considered a red line in the conflict with Hezbollah. The next development to watch is whether this marks a temporary raid or the beginning of a sustained Israeli military presence north of the river.
