Top military and security officials presented Defense Minister Yoav Gallant with “options for action against Hezbollah” in response to the terror group’s rocket fire on Majdal Shams that killed 11 civilians and wounded dozens more, his office says.
“Gallant determined the courses of action and instructed the defense establishment accordingly,” the Defense Ministry says, without elaborating.
The minister had held an assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, head of the Shin Bet Ronen Bar, head of the Mossad David Barnea, and other officials.
