Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant visited the country's northern border to address troops engaged in fighting Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Gallant emphasized the transition from defeating the enemy to destroying it, stating that the focus is now on blowing up tunnels, ammunition depots, and other Hezbollah infrastructure.
Gallant expressed the goal of completely clearing the area to allow displaced Israeli civilians to return and rebuild their lives. This effort is part of Israel's broader objective to ensure the safety and security of residents in border regions affected by cross-border fire with Hezbollah.
As the conflict continues, hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians have also been displaced due to Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon. Gallant reaffirmed the commitment to returning Israeli residents to their homes safely, highlighting the ongoing efforts to weaken the enemy and create a secure environment.
The Israel Defense Forces are actively engaged in operations in Lebanon, with Gallant indicating that the military is preparing for future missions to address the threat posed by Hezbollah. The focus remains on completing the current mission and ensuring the long-term security of the region.
