“The price that Hezbollah is paying has increased, our attacks will increase,” said IDF chief Herzi Halevi during a visit to an IAF base.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Sunday held an operational situation assessment at the IDF’s Northern Command headquarters, where he was briefed on operations against Hezbollah targets across Lebanon and defensive measures being implemented amid ongoing rocket and drone fire.
“The past week has been the most difficult in the history of Hezbollah’s existence—especially over the past day,” said Gallant. “The action taken by the IDF in [the Beirut neighborhood of] Dahiyeh is significant, important and powerful,” he added, referring to the Israeli strike on Friday that killed senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil, along with other top Hezbollah commanders.
“We have a [clear] goal—ensuring the safe return of Israel’s northern communities to their homes—and we will take all the necessary measures to achieve it,” said Gallant.
