IDF chief says Lebanon will be held responsible for Hezbollah in future war
IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot says Israel will continue to thwart weapon transfers to Hezbollah and will consider Lebanon responsible for the terror group’s activities during a future confrontation.
“In Lebanon, Hezbollah continues to arm and strengthen [its military capabilities],” he says. “We will continue to act with determination to thwart these arm attempts and we will continue to prevent advanced arms transfers to Hezbollah.”
In a “future war there will be a clear address: the state of Lebanon and the terror groups operating in its territory and under its authority,” the IDF chief adds.
