The chief of the IDF Northern Command says the military has killed more than 500 terror operatives in Lebanon in the past nine months of skirmishes.

“We have already eliminated more than 500 terrorists in Lebanon, most of them from Hezbollah, and we have destroyed thousands of infrastructures,” Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin says to troops of the Golani Brigade in northern Israel.

“Our backs are the residents, our backs are the citizens and our faces and our barrels are aimed at the enemy. When the moment comes and we launch an attack, it will be a decisive attack,” he says.
