Hezbollah’s ultimatum? “If Lebanon rejects the Israeli proposal – we will act”
“The challenges the IDF faces and the scope of its activities are extraordinary,” said Chief of Staff Kochavi, “Every day we act against terrorism and this is an action that stems from a calculated policy designed to realize the strategic goals of the State of Israel. Hezbollah hijacked Lebanon and it is paying a price for it Double, security and economic. In practice, it follows that UN Resolution 1701 is not implemented, and missiles, rockets, anti-tank positions and command and control rooms line all of southern Lebanon, southern Beirut and the Valley.”
“The operational activity in the northern arena is an example of the use of military force that allows the shaping of the arena and enables the State of Israel to realize its goals,” he added, “the State of Lebanon and Hezbollah will bear the consequences if the sovereignty of the State of Israel is harmed, and if its assets or citizens are harmed, the IDF does not stand still will stand on the other side, and any attempt to harm the State of Israel, in any arena, will be met with a sharp response or preemptive initiative.”
After that, the Chief of Staff congratulated the incoming commander of the Northern Command: “You are coming to your position in a complex period, where the silence is more deceptive than ever, and the challenges are as always many. Your experience in general, and your operational experience in particular, along with your broad understanding, creativity, and leadership will do their part, and you will do yours with them. I have no doubt that you will do it and succeed.”
