IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi vows that the military is very determined to enforce the ceasefire with Hezbollah.
“The fighting in Lebanon was very determined. The enforcement of the agreement will be even more determined,” Halevi says in a video distributed by the IDF.
“Hezbollah operatives who approach our forces, the border area, or villages within the zone we have designated will be hit,” he says.
“We are preparing and getting ready in case this [ceasefire] doesn’t work,” Halevi continues, adding that the IDF is “very, very determined to enforce the rules and bring a completely different reality to the residents of the north.”
