Our reasoning
YES on the research record because Israel launched a ground invasion of southern Lebanon on March 16, 2026 and now occupies roughly 570-600 sq km of Lebanese territory; on March 24, 2026 Defense Minister Israel Katz declared Israel would demolish border villages and permanently occupy Lebanese territory up to the Litani River, and Netanyahu ordered the invasion expanded on March 29. IDF forces crossed the Litani itself in a May 2-12, 2026 operation.. Applied stored rule: Israeli ground forces invade and take control of Lebanese territory south of the Litani River (settled by the invasion actually occurring).
