IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says there must be a “very clear change” to the security situation on the Lebanon border, during a visit to the 91st Division in northern Israel.
“Both in the south and in the north, we need to return to a different situation, and return both security and a sense of security,” he says in a video distributed by the IDF.
“The State of Israel has never said that war is the first solution to try, but we understand that with the situation here [in the north], it should end in a very, very clear change of situation,” Halevi adds.
The remarks and tour of the north come at the same time as repeated Hezbollah rocket, missile, and drone attacks on army bases and civilians in northern Israel during the war in Gaza.
Help us report truthfully on social media
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.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
