Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has stated that the military has identified additional missions to complete in its ongoing fight against Hezbollah. The minister emphasized the importance of ensuring the safe return of Israel's northern communities to their homes, indicating that the military will persist in efforts to disrupt Hezbollah's activities and minimize their capabilities.
Gallant's comments come amidst international calls for a ceasefire along the Israel-Lebanon border to prevent a broader regional conflict. He recently met with senior military officials to approve planned operations in the northern region, near the Lebanese border.
The Defense Minister outlined the strategic objectives of the military operations, which include targeting Hezbollah operatives, dismantling their offensive infrastructure, and neutralizing rockets and missiles in their possession. Israel has been conducting a series of airstrikes in Lebanon as tensions with Hezbollah continue to escalate.
Israel's military has affirmed its commitment to intensifying offensive actions against Hezbollah, with recent ground combat exercises conducted by troops to simulate potential scenarios in Lebanon. The military remains resolute in its determination to address the threat posed by Hezbollah and safeguard Israel's security interests.
