IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says Israeli troops have “full freedom of action” to act against any threat in southern Lebanon, amid a ceasefire with Hezbollah.
He says troops continue to operate at the Beaufort Castle area and Ali Taher ridge, to demolish major Hezbollah tunnel systems which serve as the terror group’s “central command centers.”
“Hezbollah is fighting a defensive battle to prevent our forces from completing the destruction of these infrastructures,” Defrin says.
“Hezbollah is the one that violated the ceasefire. It is trying to defend the capabilities it built over the years,” he continues.
Defrin says that troops “have full operational freedom of action, to remove threats in any area.”
“There is no limit [concerning] removing threats,” he adds.
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.
