Hezbollah continued to attack Israel in the North with rockets, anti-tank missiles and gunfire on Friday and Saturday, wounding at least two foreign workers on the Israeli side.
The IDF responded using aerial strikes, artillery, infantry and other means to widely attack Hezbollah positions on the border several times over the weekend, including in the Mount Dov area.
One goal of the military is, without falling into a broader conflict in the North, to start to make it harder for Hezbollah to keep up with the almost constant exchanges which have characterized most of the last two weeks since Hamas invaded on October 7, starting the war.
On Saturday, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant held an operational situation assessment in the IDF’s 91st Division, together with the division commander, brigade commanders and soldiers stationed in the northern region.
Gallant was briefed on the deployment of troops along the border and in nearby communities, as well as on defense and counterterrorism activities in the area.
"Hezbollah has decided to participate in the fighting, and is paying a price for it. We must be vigilant and prepare for every possible [scenario]. Great challenges await us," Gallant told the soldiers. "Your duty is to prepare for defense and for anything else that may be required. We are in a war, we had no choice. We will act wherever necessary and we will win this war.”
”Just two weeks ago, Hamas launched a war against us in the south. This war was designed to murder, kidnap, rape and harm children, Holocaust survivors, and women. Moreover, it [the attacks] was documented and published by Hamas, in order to deter the State of Israel," Gallant said. "We will turn thing around 180 degrees - the day of the attack will be remembered as the day that started the final and complete destruction of the Hamas terrorist organization.”
