Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says he wrapped up an assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and other senior military officers following the assassination of top Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil in Lebanon.
“Even in the Dahiyeh in Beirut, we will continue to pursue our enemy in order to protect our citizens,” Gallant says on X.
“The sequence of operations in the new phase [of the war] will continue until our goal is achieved: The safe return of the residents of the north to their homes,” he adds.
