The chief of the IDF Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, says the military needs to be “strongly prepared” for a ground offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“We have entered another phase of the campaign… The operation began with a very significant blow to Hezbollah’s capabilities, with an emphasis on [rocket] capabilities, and a very significant blow to the commanders and members of the organization,” Gordin says while visiting a drill simulating a ground operation in Lebanon yesterday.
“We need to change the security situation. We need to be very strongly prepared to enter [Lebanon] in a [ground] maneuver,” he adds.
