The chief of the IDF Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, tells troops in southern Lebanon that the ground operation against Hezbollah will enable the return of Israel’s displaced residents back to their homes in the north.
“The way back home for the residents of the north passes through… the removal of this direct and concrete threat to the communities of the north. As I’ve said, we are determined to bring them back and you are doing it with your tank treads and your legs,” Gordin tells soldiers of the 188th Armored Brigade this week.
