Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirms that troops of the IDF’s 36th Division have crossed the Litani River and have advanced toward strategic points in southern Lebanon.
“Our forces crossed the Litani, and they advanced to the dominating terrain. We are operating in Beirut as well, in the Beqaa as well, across the entire front, and striking Hezbollah hard,” he says during a visit to the northern border today.
