Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed that Israel will shift from repelling to actively expanding military campaign against Hezbollah, and it will reach wherever is needed, including Damascus and beyond.
Gallant conducted a situation assessment on Friday at Northern Command and directed the IDF to “expand the campaign in the north.”
Gallant was quoted by Israeli media as saying: “We are shifting from repelling to actively pursuing Hezbollah. Wherever they are hiding we will reach them, including more distant places like Damascus and beyond. “We will increase the rate of attacks and expand our operations – that’s what I conveyed this week in Washington to Secretary of Defense Austin, to Special Envoy Amos Hochstein, and others – and that’s what I instructed the IDF at Northern Command.”
