IDF Vows To Continue Strikes On Lebanon

Meanwhile, the Israeli Defense Forces announced earlier that they will continue their military strikes on Lebanon in response to recent rocket attacks by Hezbollah targeting northern Israeli cities. This escalation comes as tensions rise following the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, which have significantly heightened security concerns in the region. The IDF’s ongoing operations aim to protect Israeli citizens and apply consistent pressure on Hezbollah.

Israeli officials are warming up for major payback against Iran. It follows French President Emmanuel Macron’s call for an international arms embargo on Israel, targeted this time, particularly on weapons being used in Gaza. “The response is going to be very significant and serious,” Israeli officials said, into well-prolonged mutual tension between the two countries.

The Israeli Army Chief, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, revealed that the military pressure exerted on Hezbollah in Lebanon would not be alleviated. “We must continue to exert pressure on Hezbollah and continuously damage the enemy, without concessions and letup,” he said.
