Touring the north, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warns that a pause in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza will not apply to the ongoing hostilities with Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group.
“If Hezbollah thinks that when there is a ceasefire in the south it will hold fire and we’ll stop, it’s making a big mistake,” Gallant says after meeting troops from the IDF’s Alpine Unit on Mount Hermon, according to a statement from his office.
He adds: “I say here explicitly: Until we reach a situation in which it’s possible to restore security for residents of the north, we will not stop. When get reach this through a [diplomatic] arrangement or military means, we can be calm.”
The IDF says it struck a cell and Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon today.
The cell was struck by a fighter jet in the southern Lebanese village of Aitaroun, the IDF says.
The IDF says fighter jets also hit several Hezbollah sites in Khiam, Qana and Jabal Blat, and artillery shelled areas in Jebbayn, Atta ash-Shab and Aitaroun to “remove threats.”
Earlier today, two rockets were fired from Lebanon at Kiryat Shmona, and a short while ago, one projectile was fired at the Mount Dov area.
The IDF says it is shelling the launch sites.
