Speaking to troops at a drill simulating a ground offensive in Lebanon, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says the IDF has “additional blows already prepared” for Hezbollah.
“Today’s Hezbollah is not the Hezbollah of a week ago. The sequence of blows it faced in its command and control, its operatives, its weapons, all these things are extremely severe blows,” Gallant says to troops of the 7th Armored Brigade and 202nd Paratroopers Battalion.
“We have more blows ready, we know what to do,” he says.
“Any Hezbollah force that encounters you will be destroyed, they are troubled by the experience you have gained in combat,” Gallant adds to the soldiers, who have previously fought in the Gaza Strip against Hamas.
The drill is the latest in a series carried out by the IDF for a potential ground offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
