The Israeli military continues to strike Hezbollah’s military sites on Wednesday and is preparing a ground operation, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi said.
"We do not stop. Fighter jets are attacking all day. We are preparing a [ground] maneuver," Halevi said as he visited a military drill.
The IDF is pursuing a goal to safely return the residents of northern Israel to their homes, he said.
"Your boots will enter enemy territory, enter villages that Hezbollah has prepared as large military outposts, with underground infrastructure, assembly points, and launchpads," Halevi said.
According to Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff, on September 25, Hezbollah extended its range of fire by shelling the Tel Aviv area and vowed the group will receive a "very strong" response later today.
