IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi said on Sunday that fighting in the Gaza Strip will continue throughout 2024.
"2024 will be challenging. We will be at war in Gaza, not sure if all year. We'll certainly be fighting in Gaza all year, and this will also maintain alertness on other fronts, especially the West Bank,” he told troops while on a visit to the West Bank.
"In the north, Hezbollah has decided to join this war. We are increasingly exacting a toll on them. We have a responsibility, a duty, to securely return northern residents to their homes, not out of compulsion."
In a striking political declaration, Fahad Al Masri, President of the National Salvation Front in Syria, has issued a bold call for a strategic alliance between post-Assad Syria, the United States and Israel, a move that would represent a seismic shift in the region's diplomatic landscape.
Hezbollah rejected a ceasefire plan agreed by the Lebanese and Israeli governments in U.S.-mediated talks, as Israel kept up strikes in southern Lebanon on Thursday and said it wouldn't be withdrawing from the south.
Israel and Lebanon agreed to implement a new ceasefire after U.S.-mediated talks, the Trump administration said, raising hopes for progress toward ending the wider U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.
