On visit to northern front, Gallant vows to push Hezbollah away from border
As the cease-fire in southern Israel entered its third day, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Sunday visited the northern front and vowed to push Hezbollah away from the border and allow residents of the border region to return home safely.
"We will translate the military achievements and the withdrawal of Hezbollah from the front into a situation that will allow the return of the northern residents under completely different conditions from when this campaign began," he told troops.
During a situation assessment, Gallant was briefed on the forces' activities in the eastern sector of the Lebanon border and the Syria border, focusing on defending the region, neutralizing terrorist cells and holding Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations accountable. He commended the commanders and soldiers, both regular and reserve, for their decisive actions in safeguarding the Israeli border communities and combating terrorist elements in the region.
Regarding his visit to the Strip on Saturday, the defense minister said, "I visited the forces in the Gaza Strip, in the depth of the territory, to understand the situation and see the results of the IDF soldiers' operations. We have reliable forces, prepared, strong and determined, who have achieved excellent results. These achievements of the maneuvering force have enabled the process that created the conditions for the return of the captives in recent days."
