Halevi in ​​Kfar Kila, South Lebanon: “As long as Hezbollah continues to shoot, we will continue to fight”

Israeli Chief of Staff General Herzli Halevi toured Israeli soldiers stationed in Kfar Kila in South Lebanon, according to army spokesperson Avichay Adraee. During this visit, he affirmed that the Israeli army “will continue to fight and strike deeply” against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Herzli Halevi’s visit took place “during the week”, said Avichay Adraee without providing a date, in order to “assess the situation in the Kfar Kila region”. Addressing soldiers mobilized in the sector, the officer affirmed that “Hezbollah is paying a high price”, with the elimination of its “chain of command” and the “destruction of its infrastructure”. “As long as Hezbollah continues to fire, we will continue to fight, move forward, implement our plans, carry out deep attacks and hit them very hard,” he said. “We will only stop when we know we can safely bring people back” to villages in northern Israel, he added.

Tens of thousands of people have been displaced from northern Israel since the start of clashes between the Shiite party and the Israeli army on October 8, 2023. In Lebanon, more than a million people have been displaced, particularly from Lebanon -South and southern suburbs of Beirut, according to the Lebanese authorities.

The Israeli chief of staff also said he was “closely monitoring Iran, Yemen, Iraq, as well as terrorism in Judea and Samaria”, the name given by Israel to the occupied West Bank.

Furthermore, according to Israeli Channel 12, the Israeli army has implemented a new strategy of strikes on Lebanon, aiming to carry out series of bombings “every two hours”. “In other words, every two hours, fighter planes strike Lebanon,” the channel added. During the day, Israeli strikes were sustained, carried out within two hours of each other, while calls to evacuate the southern suburbs and the South were made by spokesperson Avichay Adraee around 8 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m., 3:50 p.m. and 5 p.m.
