🚨 IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin: As long as Hezbollah continues in its attempts to rebuild its terror capabilities, the IDF will continue to operate against them.
“For years, we have defended our northern border against Hezbollah’s attacks on our civilians. They have continued to rearm and rebuild their weapons stockpiles, in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
But don’t just take my word for it—listen to a senior Hezbollah member himself.
With funding and training from the Iranian terror regime, Hezbollah is rebuilding its terrorist capabilities: stockpiling missiles and suicide drones, training ground forces, and restoring infrastructure. It operates מתוך civilian areas as part of its method of warfare.
On March 2nd, Hezbollah chose to join the Iranian terror regime in its attacks against Israel, thereby endangering both Israeli and Lebanese civilians.
This is exactly what we are acting against.
As we continue striking Hezbollah terror targets, IDF forces remain deployed in forward defensive positions along the southern Lebanon border area.
Contrary to statements made earlier this year by the Lebanese government, Hezbollah is still operating and carrying out attacks from southern Lebanon.
If the Lebanese government does not disarm Hezbollah, the IDF will do so.
We will not allow Hezbollah to rearm and will continue to act to defend our civilians along the northern border.”
