IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said Friday that the military estimates some 1,500 Hezbollah operatives were killed since the ground operation in Lebanon.
“We estimate around 1,500 Hezbollah operatives were killed, and that’s a conservative figure. We are determined to hit Hezbollah as hard as possible. We've eliminated their entire senior command, and we are taking out their local command structure. Hezbollah is concealing the deaths of their leaders.”
Halevi also held a situational assessment with Northern Command leaders.
Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has spent three months preparing for a possible resumption of hostilities with Israel, after receiving an infusion of cash from Iran, according to Lebanese security personnel briefed on its activities.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasted of his endorsement from Donald Trump on the eve of Israel's election, suggesting the two leaders could restart their war against Iran if he wins, after Trump said they should "finish the job".
On the eve of Israel’s general election, Iran said on Monday that the outcome would make no difference to the Islamic Republic. The remarks echo the regime’s long-standing rhetoric toward Israel.
