IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi visited Hezbollah’s massive underground base in southern Lebanon earlier this week, before it was blown up, where he issued comments directed at the United Nations and other countries.
“We have been saying for years that Hezbollah is preparing the border area for war. For the countries of the world who were skeptical, for the UN, for UNIFIL who were above here, this evidence is very important to understand why we are destroying what is underground and above ground, and why we need to make sure that these things don’t return,” Halevi says in a video statement published today by the IDF.
“We caught it in time, before it was too late, and these infrastructures must not” be rebuilt here, he adds.
