Speaking to troops in southern Lebanon earlier today, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says that the military is “working very hard” and striking Hezbollah across Lebanon and Syria.
“From [Hassan] Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s Jihad Council, the commanders of the various units and areas… and a great many operatives… we have taken away a lot of capabilities,” Halevi says.
He says that it is “very very important” that ground forces are capturing large amounts of Hezbollah weapons in southern Lebanon, and “at the same time the IDF is working very hard, striking heavily in Beirut, Hezbollah targets.”
“We are striking deep [in Lebanon] and we are striking a lot in Syria and on the Syria-Lebanon border, so that weapons do not reach Hezbollah,” Halevi says.
The IDF’s 36th Division expanded its ground operations in southern Lebanon today, reaching new areas and Hezbollah assets, the military says.
