IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says Israel is “determined to change the security situation in the north so that the residents of the north can return to their homes safely.”
The remarks are made during an assessment of the situation that Halevi held with senior generals at the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv.
“This morning we thwarted a wide attack by Hezbollah on the Israeli home front. We are very determined and will continue to do everything to protect the citizens of Israel everywhere,” he says.
“We are focused on the Gaza Strip, to dismantle Hamas and return the hostages. The pressure we exert in the attacks in Gaza is the pressure that will lead to the return of the hostages. At the same time, we are fighting against Hezbollah in Lebanon, continuing and systematically striking it. Since the beginning of the war, Hezbollah has lost many significant assets, and hundreds of operatives,” Halevi adds, according to the remarks released by the IDF.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
