The Israeli army announced plans to invade Lebanon, but the likelihood of an immediate ground offensive is low, according to the Pentagon.

Following an announcement by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) regarding preparations for a ground offensive in Lebanon, the Pentagon stated on Wednesday that the plan does not appear to be "imminent."

"It doesn't look like something is imminent," Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters when asked about the situation.

"We certainly don't want to see any action taken that could lead to further escalation in the region," Singh said, adding that "we want to see a diplomatic resolution and a solution to prevent an all-out war."

The Israeli army announced plans to invade Lebanon. Yet, the likelihood of an immediate ground offensive appears low, as Israeli forces continue to be pounded by Hezbollah fire.

The Pentagon previously stated that while the US would support "defensive" operations by the Israeli regime, it would not back any "offensive" operations.

Two reserve brigades called up for 'operational missions'

Earlier today, the IOF issued a statement announcing the call-up of two reserve brigades for "operational missions" in the northern regions.

Meanwhile, Resistance groups across the region continue to strike the occupied territories with drones and rockets.

In recent days, Hezbollah has targeted some of "Israel's" most strategic military bases, including the Ilanya base, the Samson base, Meggido base, the Naftali base, Amos base, and Ramat David base. 

The Resistance has also struck key cities in Northern occupied Palestine, including Haifa, and earlier today, Tel Aviv, where the headquarters of Mossad were targeted. 

The Resistance in Iraq also fired a drone attack targeting the occupied city of Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat] late on Wednesday.
