Since the November 2024 ceasefire, IDF forces have carried out roughly 1,200 targeted operations across Lebanon, eliminating more than 370 Hezbollah, Hamas, and Palestinian terrorists.
Military sources say the campaign would combine aerial bombardments, targeted ground incursions, and coordination with international partners to stabilize the area once fighting ends.
The veterans emphasized the personal cost of the conflict, saying they ‘cannot remain silent’ in light of the ‘heavy prices’ they and their fallen comrades had paid while defending Israel.
The statement did not say how much longer Israeli forces might remain in south Lebanon, where the Israeli military says it has been seizing Hezbollah weapons and dismantling infrastructure used by the Shi’ite armed group.
Concerns are growing about whether the Lebanese Armed Forces can fulfill its obligations to clamp down on illegal Hezbollah activity in Southern Lebanon under the ceasefire agreement.
‘Lebanon must pay a price’ – Israeli ministers say Lebanese military must prevent Hezbollah attacks or face Israeli retaliation.
‘This is not what victory looks like! Don’t stop us!’ soldiers write in open letter to IDF leaders.
