IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says the military is “very focused” on fighting Hezbollah and is preparing offensive actions against the terror group in Lebanon.
“The IDF is very focused on fighting Hezbollah, I think that the number of attacks in the last month, operatives killed, rockets destroyed, infrastructure destroyed, is very large,” he says during a tour of the Golan Heights earlier today.
“The Northern Command, with all the IDF’s capabilities, is attacking many of Hezbollah’s capabilities inside Lebanon before they attack us, and at the same time we are also preparing offensive moves in the territory [of Lebanon],” Halevi says.
