Ground invasion of Lebanon 'a possibility'

Israeli forces are trying to curtail Hezbollah’s ability to fire rockets into Israel, the army’s deputy chief of staff said today, adding that a ground invasion into Lebanon had not been ruled out.

“At this stage we do not think we have to activate massive ground forces into Lebanon, but if we have to do this, we will. We are not ruling it out,” Major General Moshe Kaplinski told Israel Radio.
