Israel Deploys Troops on Border, Army Chief Warns of Possible Ground Operation in Lebanon
ai generated text
Israeli military officials, including Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, have been making statements indicating a potential escalation of the conflict in Lebanon. Halevi told troops that they will continue to attack Hezbollah, and that their entry into the region will show Hezbollah what it means to face a professional combat force. The Israeli military is reportedly gearing up for ground operations in Lebanon, with thousands of personnel on standby for a possible invasion. The goal of these operations is to destroy Hezbollah's infrastructure and encircle its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
We are striking Hezbollah with blows it never imagined. We are doing this with full force, we are doing this with guile.
I can't go into detail about everything we do. But I can tell you one thing: We are determined to return our residents in the north safely to their homes.
We are firmly calling on Israel to stop the escalation in Lebanon and Hezbollah to stop firing toward Israel.
Israel must grant humanitarian access to civilians in line with its obligations under international humanitarian law. There can be no more excuses.
We need a cease-fire so this can be sorted out diplomatically.
I'm calling for all parties to step back from the brink, to de-escalate.
There's a possibility if we can deal with a cease-fire in Lebanon that it can move into dealing with the West Bank as well.
I don't agree with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's] position. There needs to be a two-state solution.
Arab world very much wants to have a settlement.
I'm using every bit of energy with my team to get this done.
In total, over 280 Hezbollah terror targets have been struck today in Lebanon, and the IDF (military) is continuing to conduct strikes against additional targets.
We had 110,000 displaced people and now this figure is approaching half a million.
The world cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza.
War is not inevitable, a diplomatic solution is indeed possible.
A diplomatic solution is indeed possible. In recent days, we've worked with our American partners on a temporary ceasefire platform of 21 days to allow for negotiations.
