Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Wednesday renewed his series of threats against Hezbollah in ongoing Israeli efforts to reduce the threat posed to returning residents to their northern border communities.
Speaking to troops near the Lebanon border, he said he is “determined to securely return the northern residents [to their communities] and to rebuild what was destroyed. The mission here is not yet complete – it could be a hot summer,” in a not-so-veiled threat that Israel may launch a larger strike against Hezbollah if the terror group does not agree to terms that would ensure security to the North.
Gallant’s comments came in the middle of several rounds of attacks by both the IDF and Hezbollah. Late Wednesday, the air force attacked a structure from Hezbollah’s Radwan force in Jabal Rezlane.
The IAF also attacked Hezbollah assets, including operatives in some of the structures, at Khiam, Odaisseh, Blida, Maroun al-Ras, and Ayta ash-Shab.

Forces used fighter jets and artillery in the area around Ramyah village. Secondary explosions were also detected during the attacks, indicating the presence of ammunition depots.
