Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a strategic discussion with security chiefs on Thursday that Israel is facing “a large-scale confrontation” with Hezbollah in the north, Channel 13 news reports.
The network cites an unnamed Netanyahu associate as saying no timing has been set for the move, which has been promised by top officials for months, adding that it could be weeks or a few months from now.
Various officials, including security chiefs, reportedly said during the meeting that a diplomatic solution alone cannot bring about the return of tens of thousands of northern residents displaced since October 7 to their homes.
The report says they added that Jerusalem’s aim is to start a war front with Lebanon as soon as possible based on the IDF’s preparedness and international legitimacy. Security officials are quoted as believing the expansion of the northern war front will require a reduction in forces fighting in Gaza.
