"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Israel preparing for possible ground operation against Lebanon: Local media - AA

The Israeli army is preparing for "a possible ground operation" against Lebanon as escalation with the Hezbollah group continues to soar, Israeli media said on Wednesday.

Public broadcaster KAN said Defense Minister Yoav Gallant met on Tuesday with soldiers training for a ground invasion scenario into Lebanon.

"Israel is preparing for a possible ground operation in Lebanon, as its preparations continue," KAN commented on Gallant's meeting with soldiers.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army on the report.

Israel has launched waves of deadly airstrikes in Lebanon since Monday morning, killing nearly 570 people and injuring over 1,800 others, according to Lebanese health authorities.

Hezbollah and Israel have been engaged in cross-border warfare since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, which has killed over 41,400 people, mostly women and children, following a cross-border attack by Hamas last Oct. 7.
