Meeting with mayors and leaders of local councils in northern Israel yesterday, the chief of the IDF Northern Command says the military’s offensive plans are ready for a potential escalated conflict with Hezbollah.
“I want you to know that our offensive plans going forward are ready and we are prepared for this, in all aspects, from me to every single one of the soldiers,” says Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin to the mayors.
“We’ve attacked and destroyed a lot in the last 10 months but we still have work to do. We are determined and committed,” he adds, according to remarks released by the IDF.
