IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi warns that Hezbollah will “pay a very high price” for its continued attacks on northern Israel.
“Hezbollah decided on October 7th, in the evening, that it is joining. For that it must pay a very high price,” Halevi says during an assessment in northern Israel, with the chief of the Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, and the commander of the 146th Division, Brig. Gen. Yisrael Shomer.
Halevi says the IDF is “taking the right steps” to enable some 80,000 displaced Israelis from Lebanon border communities to return to their homes. He says that as a result of the IDF’s actions, “Hezbollah is no longer close to the fence.”
“I think that if we do the right thing, [the residents] will return first of all because of the security. To bring the people back here with security and quality of life, the state will know how to make an effort,” he adds.
Hezbollah claimed to have fired rockets at the 146th Division’s base this afternoon. There were no damage or injuries.
