On September 23, the IDF announced the start of a ground offensive in Lebanon. Earlier, they brought numerous tanks and troops to the border areas. However, the Israeli forces could not make much use of the ground attack in Lebanon. Even though they thought it would be easy to enter Palestine like Gaza, they could not enter Lebanon.
