Israel has not yet made a final decision on the ground operation in Lebanon. The New York Times (NYT) reports with reference to Israeli officials.

According to the sources, the Jewish state has been conducting information-gathering raids in recent days to prepare for a possible large-scale invasion in the coming days. However, a final decision on the operation has not yet been made, they clarified.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that a possible ground invasion could take place as early as this week. At the same time, the timing of any ground action is subject to change, according to WSJ. The U.S. is putting a lot of pressure on Israel, warning it “against a large-scale invasion.”
