Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says the IDF is “crushing” Hezbollah infrastructure that had been built up for decades in today’s strikes in Lebanon, and that the leader of the terror group, Hassan Nasrallah, now remains alone.
“In the past day, we are crushing what was built by Hezbollah for 20 years. Nasrallah remains alone at the helm, entire units of the Radwan Force were taken out of service, and tens of thousands of rockets were destroyed,” he is quoted by his office as saying.
The remarks are made during a visit by Gallant to the IDF Operations Directorate’s command room.
