IDF chief says Hezbollah feeling ‘shockwaves’ of Israel’s strikes in Iran

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says the “shockwaves” of Israel’s strikes in Iran are being felt by Hezbollah, as he approves new battle plans for the military’s ground operation in southern Lebanon.

“Iran is the main arena. Weakening the regime and its capabilities will weaken the entire radical axis and, within that, the Hezbollah terror organization,” Zamir says during a visit to the northern border with Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo.

“The campaign against Hezbollah is another central front. Any damage to the military build-up capabilities of Iran and the Revolutionary Guards also harms Hezbollah’s arming and financing capabilities. The shockwave of the strikes and the weakening of the radical regime in Iran are also felt in the campaign against Hezbollah,” he says, according to remarks published by the IDF.

Zamir says that since Hezbollah began attacking Israel amid the war with Iran, over 400 members of the terror group have been killed, including top officers.

“We are determined to deepen the operation until all of our objectives are achieved,” he adds.
