The mayor of the northern town of Shlomi near the Lebanon border tells the Kan public broadcaster that the Hezbollah terror group has dug tunnels along the border.
Shlomi Ne’eman claims that Israel won’t be left with any other choice but a ground incursion into Lebanon in order to restore security for Israelis in the north.
Ne’eman, a member of the right-wing Likud party, claims that sufficing with a diplomatic resolution between Israel and Hezbollah will leave Israel’s northern residents in the same place that Israel’s southern residents were before Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught.
