Defense Minister Yoav Gallant strongly hints that Israel is preparing to launch a ground offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“The elimination of [Hezbollah terror chief Hassan] Nasrallah is a very important step, but it is not everything. We will use all the capabilities we have,” Gallant says to troops of the 188th Armored Brigade and Golani Infantry Brigade in northern Israel.
“If someone on the other side does not understand what these capabilities mean, it is all capabilities and you are part of this effort. We trust you to be able to accomplish anything,” he adds to the troops.
