Israel is preparing to go on the offensive against Hezbollah, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi warned on Wednesday as he toured the border with Lebanon.
"You are doing an excellent job of defending in an aggressive way, and we are preparing for an attack in the north," Halevi told several high-ranking officers after an operational assessment.
As the French government renewed its efforts to reach a diplomatic solution to the quasi-war started by the Lebanese terror organization on Oct. 8th, Hezbollah continued its near-daily attacks against Israel. On Wednesday, two anti-tank missiles heavily damaged two homes in the town of Shtula in the Western Galilee without causing any casualties. In response, the IDF struck Hezbollah targets in several towns across southern Lebanon.
According to the report, Israeli officials estimate a serious discussion about the issue would only be possible once a ceasefire was reached in the Gaza Strip, as Hezbollah has indicated it wouldn't be ready to discuss a truce without a pause to the Gaza War.
