Israel has reportedly informed the Biden administration that it has started small ground raids ahead of a "limited invasion of southern Lebanon.

It has been mounting increasing air attacks on Hezbollah and Hamas leadership in Lebanon in recent days.

Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah was among those killed but the group's acting leader vowed Monday that it would continue to fight Israel.

An unnamed U.S. official said Israel appears to be readying for the forces to push across the border, the Associated Press reported.

President Biden was giving an update about the federal response to Hurricane Helene on Monday morning when he was about whether he was aware of the possible ground invasion.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
