Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has said military action targeting Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia “will continue.”
“Hezbollah feels persecuted,” Gallant was quoted as saying by his office after a briefing on operational developments in northern Israel on Thursday.
But he added: “The sequence of our military actions will continue.”
“In the new phase of the war there are significant opportunities but also significant risks,” Gallant said.
The consultations with high-ranking military and secret service commanders had revolved around different scenarios in the fight against Hezbollah, according to the minister, with the aim of enabling those evacuated from northern Israel to return home.
