On today’s episode of Battle Lines we speak to the Telegraph’s Adrian Blomfield in Beirut, and photographer Heathcliff O’Malley in Tel Aviv about the possibility of a ground war in Lebanon. The Israeli Defense Forces top general has told his troops to be ready to enter Lebanon to fight Hezbollah on their own turf for the first time since 2006.

As tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East, Herzi Halevi, the Israeli Defense Forces Chief of the General Staff, said that the military is preparing for a possible "maneuver" to enter Lebanon.

Israel is preparing for a possible ground operation in Lebanon, its army chief said Wednesday as Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets across the border and a missile aimed at Tel Aviv that was the militant group's deepest strike yet.
