Resolves with public confirmation from Israel that they have sent forces into Lebanon to carry out military operations.

Resolution criteria:

If the IDF declares that they have done a "ground offensive," "raid," "special operation," or other phrase which indicate that they have sent forces into the country for a military purpose, resolves YES. The announcement may come from an IDF Twitter account, in a press release, or in a quote to a news outlet.

If the IDF does not publicize this explicitly, I will look at international English news outlets. If 4 of the following websites publish an online article saying that the IDF has entered Lebanon, resolves YES:
