IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi wrapped up an assessment on the northern front a short while ago with the military’s top brass.
In remarks provided by the IDF, Halevi says that Hezbollah’s drone attack on a residential building in Nahariya “is a serious incident.”
“The IDF operates strongly in the north, and is at a high level of readiness with prepared operational plans, ready for any mission that will be required,” he adds.
