We will hit harder and harder until they understand – IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy

Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi addressed the public in connection with the intensification of military operations in the north. He emphasized the successful “liquidation” of the command staff of the “Army of Allah” and stated the IDF's intention to continue to strike Hezbollah until they understand.

Halevy praised the residents of the shelled towns for their correct behavior and effective air defense system, which helped prevent casualties. He reported on the long-term efforts to weaken Hezbollah and ensure safe conditions for the return of evacuated residents.

The Chief of Staff and Prime Minister Netanyahu's reports were almost identical: continued strikes on the enemy until the target is reached and the people are returned to the north. The time frame of nine months of continued pressure on Hamas to free the hostages is also confirmed.
