In a recent address to his troops in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi emphasized their readiness to engage in combat in Lebanon if necessary. The stern message came after the Israeli military's operations in Gaza.
Halevi's statement was conveyed during his visit to Gaza and was released in an official army statement.
He declared, "After fighting in Gaza, we will know how to do it in Lebanon if required." He further added, "After what you have accomplished, there won't be a village in Lebanon that you won't be able to enter and that you won't be able to destroy. We will position you in the right places, and you will do what is necessary. It will be a prolonged battle on the other side, and we will emerge with positive outcomes."
The remarks made by Lieutenant General Halevi underscore the Israeli military's commitment to ensuring its preparedness for any potential conflict in the region, signaling a resolve to address security concerns on multiple fronts.
Israel announced a major expansion of military operations in Gaza on Wednesday, saying large areas of the enclave would be seized and added to its security zones, accompanied by large-scale evacuation of population.
Israel announced overnight that it had killed Hassan Bdeir, a senior Hezbollah figure, in an airstrike targeting the southern suburbs of Beirut.
At least three people were killed and seven wounded in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs early on Tuesday, the Lebanese health ministry said, further testing a shaky four-month ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
