A promotional image has circulated in Israel encouraging the purchase of homes in Lebanon following the assassination of Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, last Friday.

The advertisement states: "After the elimination of the top of Hezbollah, including Nasrallah, after the spectacular beeper attack, do you also dream of a big house, a view of snowy mountains and a warm community in the land of our ancestors, the Asher and Naftali tribes?"

It adds: "We are just one strategic decision away from this dream - to continue to crush southern Lebanon and not let its residents return. Help it happen, join us."

This advertisement comes amid reports that the Israeli army is finalizing its preparations for a ground invasion of Lebanon, following pressure from northern command officials to commence the operation.
