The head of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, Yoav Galant, visited the northern border of the country, where he held an operational meeting and talked with soldiers of the 98th division, the ministry’s press service reported.
As Day.Az reports with reference to TASS, during a conversation with the military, he made a statement that panic had begun in the ranks of the armed formations of the Shiite organization Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“We have Hezbollah prisoners who are sharing information. They told us about the great fear that is being felt [в рядах шиитских формирований]. “Hezbollah is collapsing,” Galant said.
According to him, the task of the Israeli army in southern Lebanon is to “completely clear the area [от инфраструктуры “Хезболлах”]so that the inhabitants of the populated areas of northern Israel can return to their homes and rebuild their lives.” “We not only defeat the enemy, but also destroy them, destroying their tunnels, weapons depots and their offensive infrastructure. The result is obvious: in places prepared by Hezbollah for use as staging areas for raids in [израильские] populated areas, the Israel Defense Forces are now conducting their operations,” the minister added.
