IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi following the assassination of top Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil in Lebanon vows that the military will reach anyone who threatens Israeli civilians.

“The Hezbollah commanders we eliminated today had been planning an ‘October 7’ on the northern border for years. We reached them and we will reach anyone who threatens the security of the citizens of the State of Israel,” Halevi says in remarks provided by the IDF.
