Israel’s Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, stated on Monday that the country’s ground troops will take action “very soon” along the Lebanese border. The Israeli offensive comes as exchanges of gunfire between Israelis and Hezbollah intensify, escalating the risks of a direct confrontation in the region.
In a video released by the Ministry of Defense, Mr. Gallant declared:
“We have strengthened our positions in the North, and we will gradually release reservists so they can prepare and be ready for the upcoming actions. And very soon, they will be sent into action.”
The Defense Minister’s statements coincide with at least 12 Hezbollah attacks recorded against Israeli positions on the same day.
