Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that Israel’s military action against Hezbollah “will continue.”
“As the war progresses, there are significant opportunities but also major risks. Hezbollah feels pressured. Our sequence of military actions will continue,” Gallant emphasized during a briefing with Israeli Defense Forces officials.
“Our goal is to ensure the safe return of Israel’s northern communities to their homes. As time goes on, Hezbollah will pay an increasingly higher price,” he added.
