Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke today at the IDF senior command conference, praising IDF commanders and soldiers for their courage throughout the War of Resurrection — in the air, at sea and on land.
Netanyahu said Israel has achieved “tremendous results” in Lebanon, including the destruction of the rocket array that threatened the entire country and the creation of a security zone that prevents an invasion into northern Israel and blocks direct anti-tank missile fire.
“We are striking now — in the security zone, north of the security zone, and north of the Litani,” Netanyahu told the commanders.
He stressed that Israel has freedom of action to stop both immediate and developing threats, saying this was part of the understandings reached with the US and the Lebanese government.
