Defense Minister Yoav Gallant speculates that “as long as fighting continues in the south, there will be fighting in the north.”
“But we will not accept this reality for an extended period. There will come a moment when if we do not reach a diplomatic agreement in which Hezbollah respects the right of the residents to live here in security, we will have to ensure that security by force,” Gallant says while touring the Lebanon border.
