Israel's army chief says Israel 'preparing offensive in north'
Israel's Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said the military was preparing for an offensive against Hezbollah, as he met troops on Lebanon's border amid ongoing skirmishes.
“You are doing an excellent job of operational defense in the north, and we are preparing for an offensive in the north,” Halevi said.
On Wednesday, Hezbollah attacked 4 israeli posts including Metula, causing damage to homes.
The Israeli army said no injuries were caused in the attack and that it shelled the launch sites in southern Lebanon with artillery.
Israeli fighter jets also struck two buildings in the southern border towns of Aita al-Shab and Marwahin on Wednesday evening.
The Israeli army also bombod al-Khiam, Tayr Harfa, Kafrkila, Blida, Odaisseh, and Mays al-Jabal.
