IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, during a visit to the Northern Command headquarters in Safed today, says Israel will continue to “weaken” Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“We will continue to act, remove threats and weaken Hezbollah to protect the northern communities and the State of Israel,” Zamir says in remarks published by the IDF.
“The Northern Command changed the security reality in the area and strengthened the security on the border,” he adds.
