IDF Northern Command chief: Israel will ‘aggressively’ enforce ceasefire with Hezbollah

The chief of the IDF Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin during an assessment in southern Lebanon yesterday vows that the military will “aggressively” enforce the ceasefire with Hezbollah.

“We have set Hezbollah back many years and this significant achievement, the severe damage to Hezbollah allows a completely different freedom to make decisions and manage this campaign going forward,” Gordin says in a video released by the IDF.

“The political echelon agreed on a ceasefire arrangement with Lebanon, and our job is to enable it and enforce it. We will enforce it aggressively, under the conditions we set, this is what will be realized, and therefore we do not intend for Hezbollah to return to these areas, we intend for this entire area to be clear of capabilities and certainly of Hezbollah’s weapons, and that is our role,” he continues.

“If they make a mistake, it will be a big mistake, and we are prepared to return to combat… We are now in enforcement mode, but we can, in a very short time, give the opposite order and go back in,” Gordin adds.
