After a visit to IDF Central Command headquarters, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel is fighting a multi-front war “while difficult international pressures being exerted on us.”
“I can guarantee one thing,” Netanyahu says in a video statement, “whatever happened before will not happen again. We will change this reality.”
Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fox, head of the IDF Central Command, gave the prime minister and his senior aides a briefing on ongoing efforts to combat terrorism in the West Bank and along the Green Line, where terrorists have been firing into Israeli towns in recent days.
Two Hezbollah operatives were struck in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon’s Aitaroun earlier today, the military says.
The IDF also says it struck several buildings used by the terror group in the town.
Chief of the IDF Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, speaking at a ceremony marking 18 years since the Second Lebanon War, says the military is prepared to face the Hezbollah terror group once more.
“Hezbollah has suffered severe blows. About 420 terrorists and senior operatives were eliminated. The terror infrastructure built over the years has been destroyed and is attacked every day. We have been doing this for eight months, with the understanding that this time too, like 18 years ago, we have no choice but to continue fighting, together, until the mission is completed,” he says.
“Last week we completed preparations… for an attack in the north.
I meet with the troops and commanders; they are training and determined. I am sure they will be able to face any task against the Hezbollah terror organization. We are prepared and ready, and when we will be ordered, the enemy will meet a strong and ready army,” Gordin continues.
