IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says the ground offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon is “pushing the enemy north, and distancing the threat from the communities.”
He says the Israeli Air Force has struck over 2,500 targets in Lebanon since hostilities escalated amid the war with Iran, and some 900 Hezbollah operatives have been killed.
