WHAT HAPPENED

Israeli forces reportedly advanced into southern Lebanon and shelled several areas, including with tanks and bulldozers. Iran warned the United States of retaliation if Israel attacks a Hezbollah-held ridge.

SO WHAT?

The combination of Israeli ground action and an Iranian retaliation warning raises the risk of a wider Israel-Iran-U.S. confrontation in Lebanon.
