As of March 10, 2026, the regional conflict has violently expanded. While the U.S. and Israel continue to dismantle Iran’s military infrastructure under Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion, the IDF has simultaneously opened a mᴀssive second front, officially launching ground incursions into Lebanon.Here is the tactical breakdown of both collapsing fronts:

1. The Lebanese Front: Ground Invasion & Buffer Zone
Boots on the Ground: Moving beyond the intense aerial bombardment of Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahieh), Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has authorized the IDF to seize additional territory.

The IDF’s 91st, 210th, and 146th Divisions have crossed the Blue Line, advancing into southern Lebanon to establish a military buffer zone south of the Litani River.Mᴀss Evacuations: The IDF has issued unprecedented evacuation orders affecting an estimated 800,000 Lebanese civilians across southern Lebanon and parts of Beirut ahead of planned strikes on Hezbollah strongholds.Hezbollah’s Defiance: Hezbollah, which officially joined the war on March 2 following the ᴀssᴀssination of Supreme Leader Khamenei, continues to launch drone and rocket barrages at Haifa and the Occupied Golan Heights. This comes even after the Lebanese government issued a total ban on Hezbollah’s military activities and ordered the group to surrender its weapons to the state.

2. The Iranian Front: Systemic Annihilation
Missile Capabilities Decimated: The combined U.S.-Israeli air campaign has shifted into high gear. According to recent intelligence ᴀssessments, relentless bombing runs have now destroyed an estimated 75% of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers.Targeting the IRGC Aerospace Force: Recent strikes have specifically cratered runways and destroyed F-14 storage facilities at the 8th Tactical Airbase in Esfahan.

Furthermore, multiple IRGC Aerospace Force command centers in Tehran have been leveled, systematically blinding Iran’s ability to coordinate its remaining drone and missile arsenals.
