Netanyahu, touring the Lebanese border on Wednesday, observed a drill of the 55th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade, whose soldiers he hailed for their “determination to defend the country,” according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.
Flanked by his military secretary, Roman Gofman, the head of the IDF’s Northern Command Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, and other lower-ranking commanders, Netanyahu asserted that Israel would achieve “victory” in the north in case of a full-blown war with Hezbollah.
The visits came as the IDF published footage of airstrikes it carried out on Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon’s Kfarchouba, Ayta ash-Shab and Khiam. The army said it also shelled several more areas in south Lebanon with artillery. Earlier in the day, the army published footage of overnight airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in south Lebanon’s Shebaa and Matmoura.
Meanwhile, Israeli local authorities said several anti-tank guided missiles fired by Hezbollah on Wednesday caused some damage. READ MORE
