IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi is currently holding an assessment and approving plans for Lebanon, the military says.

The meeting comes as Israel is readying to respond to Hezbollah’s deadly rocket attack on Majdal Shams yesterday.

It is attended by the deputy IDF chief of staff and the chiefs of the Northern Command, Military Intelligence Directorate, Operations Directorate, Air Force, and other generals, the IDF adds.
