Following the assassination of Hezbollah’s aerial forces chief, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says the military must continue to strike the terror group.
“We need to continue attacking Hezbollah. We have been waiting for this opportunity for years,” Halevi says following an assessment, in remarks provided by the IDF, hinting that the military is against a ceasefire at this stage.
“We are constantly working to make achievements, to eliminate more senior officials, to thwart the transfer of weapons, to [destroy] Hezbollah’s firepower [capabilities], and to attack it in all of Lebanon,” he adds.
