As the IDF launched a wave of strikes in southern Lebanon following what it described as a 'blatant violation' by Hezbollah, a group of Israeli minors, mostly girls, crossed the border into Lebanese territory. IDF forces, along with police, are pursuing them in an attempt to return them to the Israeli side. Activists claim that dozens have crossed the border, and that among them are also families. The IDF has not officially commented on the incident this afternoon, which comes amid heightened tensions with Hezbollah. An organization called 'Uri Tzafon', which calls for establishing settlements in southern Lebanon, issued a statement urging focus on the enemy's intentions rather than just its capabilities, and calling for creating a reality where Israel is more deeply rooted in the land.
