The target of the Israeli airstrike in Beirut is the head of Hezbollah’s aerial forces, defense sources tell Israeli media.
Hezbollah’s aerial forces are responsible for the terror group’s drones, among other units.
The IDF has said it will provide further details on the “targeted strike” in the Lebanese capital soon.
Ben Gvir threatens to withdraw his party from coalition if Netanyahu agrees to Lebanon ceasefireNational Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir threatens to withdraw his Otzma Yehudit party from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government if he agrees to a ceasefire in Lebanon.
Following a meeting with lawmakers from his far-right party, Ben Gvir warns the prime minister that acceding to a temporary deal would cause him to cease cooperating with the rest of the coalition and “if the temporary ceasefire becomes permanent we will resign from the government.”
“The most basic and understandable thing is that when your enemy is on his knees, you do not allow him to recover, but work to defeat him,” Ben Gvir states, arguing that pausing the fighting “conveys weakness, endangers the security of your citizens, and proves that you do not intend to win.”
Arguing that his party “will not abandon the residents of the north,” Ben Gvir states that “every day that this ceasefire is in effect and Israel does not fight in the north, Otzma Yehudit is not committed to the coalition.”
“If the temporary cease-ire becomes permanent…all the Otzma Yehudit ministers and MKs will resign from the government and the coalition.”
Troops of the IDF’s 7th Armored Brigade have wrapped up a drill simulating a ground offensive in Lebanon, the military says.
According to the IDF, the drill took place several kilometers from the Lebanon border, and simulated ground operations and combat in “complex and mountainous terrain.”
The drill was the latest in a series carried out by the IDF for a potential ground offensive in Lebanon.
