Defense Minister Yoav Galant conducted a situation assessment today (Saturday) in the Galilee formation, near the Lebanese border, together with the commander of the 91st division, Brigadier General Shay Clafar, the commander of the Hiram formation, Major General Avi Marciano, and the commanders of the battalions in the brigade. The Minister of Defense held a dialogue with the brigade’s regular and reserve fighters. Minister Gallant expressed his appreciation for the defense operations in the area and the attacks to thwart terrorists and destroy terrorist targets in Lebanon.
“I came here to assess the situation in light of Hezbollah’s aggression – this is no longer provocation. I see a high-quality and correct response by the forces, which results in Hezbollah casualties, we continue to hit it,” Gallant said. “I am saying here to the citizens of Lebanon, I already see the citizens in Gaza walking with white flags along the coast and moving south. Hezbollah is dragging Lebanon into a war that may happen, and it is making mistakes. If he makes mistakes of this kind here, the ones who will pay the price are first of all the citizens of Lebanon. What we do in Gaza we know how to do in Beirut.’

The Minister of Defense added: “Our pilots are sitting in the cockpit, the noses of the planes are pointing north.” We have enough to do everything we need in the south, but the air force is directed north and its power is very great. We didn’t use even ten percent of the strength of the Air Force in Gaza.’
