During a visit to Safed, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says the IDF is hitting Hezbollah hard and will continue to do so until security is returned to the north.

“We are hitting Hezbollah very hard over the past year and in particular over the past few weeks,” says Gallant in a video message from the northern city, which has been targeted by a number of rocket attacks in recent days.

“We will continue and increase this effort — we plan to bring security to the town in the north and to safely return home those who evacuated,” he adds.
