The Israeli military, under the leadership of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, has announced plans to intensify its efforts to target Hezbollah in Lebanon. Gallant emphasized the ongoing operations to combat Hezbollah, stating that the military will escalate its actions in the coming days.
During a visit to Safed, a town in northern Israel, Gallant reiterated the commitment to enhance security for communities in the region and facilitate the safe return of displaced individuals to their homes.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported conducting additional strikes on Hezbollah targets, including the launcher responsible for firing rockets towards Tiberias. The IDF's operations extended to various locations in Lebanon, targeting launchers, weapons storage facilities, and terrorist infrastructure sites in Sidon, Nabatieh, and other areas.
The IDF confirmed that airstrikes were ongoing as part of the sustained effort to weaken Hezbollah's capabilities and prevent further attacks.
Recent Israeli airstrikes have focused on Hezbollah in Lebanon, resulting in significant casualties. A particularly devastating attack on Monday claimed the lives of over 500 individuals, including civilians, and left more than 1,800 others injured. The violence has escalated tensions in the region and raised concerns about the humanitarian impact of the conflict.
Hezbollah, in response to the Israeli military actions, acknowledged the death of a senior military commander in a strike on a residential building in a southern suburb of Beirut. The loss of key figures within Hezbollah underscores the intensity of the conflict and the high stakes involved for both sides.
