The United States is considering the possibility that Israel could conduct a limited ground operation into Lebanon, according to information provided by a senior administration official and a US official, both of whom spoke to CNN on Saturday.
However, the officials emphasized that Israel has yet to make any firm decisions regarding whether it will proceed with a ground offensive.
The US analysis stems from the movement of Israeli troops and the clearing of certain areas, which could be interpreted as steps toward a ground invasion, one of the officials told CNN.
Earlier, IDF spokesperson Peter Lerner explained that while the military is preparing for the potential of a ground incursion, it remains just one of several options under consideration.
