Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel is “eliminating Hezbollah in southern Lebanon” as he viewed weapons captured by IDF forces operating covertly across the border several days ago, the Defense Ministry reveals.
“We are expanding the IDF operation in southern Lebanon,” said Gallant, well before the 98th Division entered Lebanon last night.
“Everything you see here — weapons, missiles, explosives, RPGs, these are things found by the IDF, from where the Radwan Force planned to attack Israeli citizens, kill them and kidnap them.”
The IDF revealed today that commandos have conducted over 70 raids into Lebanon in the past year.
“We are eliminating the Hezbollah organization in southern Lebanon and cutting off its arm, the Radwan Force, along the entire line of contact,” Gallant continued. “What we will do here is an expression of the meaning of returning the residents of the north to their homes safely. We are changing the security situation, from start to finish.”
