Israel may have begun or will be initiating, limited "movement" on the border with Lebanon, according to an ABC report on Sunday morning, citing two US officials. 

The officials also reportedly added that Israel was as of yet undecided whether to begin a ground operation into Lebanon but was prepared to do so. 

This comes amid Israel's elimination of Hezbollah's chief, Hassan Nasrallah, in Beirut on Friday night.

Last week, Israel Air Force chief Tomer Bar said the air force was preparing to assist troops in ground operations against Hezbollah.
