IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says the military “insists” that Hezbollah be disarmed, and will not end its new offensive against the terror group in Lebanon until “the threat is removed.”
“Our main effort is Iran. We are operating with force and striking the terror regime, in unprecedented cooperation with the United States military. After Hezbollah opened fire, I instructed that we act forcefully against Hezbollah as well. The IDF planned and is prepared to operate in multiple arenas simultaneously,” Zamir says during an assessment on the northern border today, according to remarks provided by the IDF.
“The Lebanese government and the Lebanese army have recently been warned many times to disarm Hezbollah — they did not act. We will end the campaign not only with Iran harmed, but with Hezbollah also sustaining a very severe blow,” he says.
Zamir says the IDF “will continue to insist that Hezbollah be disarmed. This is a demand we will not give up on.”
“The IDF will not end the campaign before the threat from Lebanon is removed,” he continues.
Zamir adds that the IDF’s offensive plans against Hezbollah “have been ready for a long time, and we will seize the opportunity.”
