Yoav Gallant's words to IDF troops stationed in the north of Israel came as fears of a boots-on-the-ground invasion of Lebanon to fight Hezbollah continue to rise on Monday.
Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant signalled that IDF still plans to move its troops into Lebanon, telling the army, “we will use all of our capabilities — including you.”
"That is what we will do, and we will deploy whatever is needed — you, other forces, from the air, from the sea, and from the land," he told the soldiers deployed to the north of Israel on Monday, further sparking fears of a ground invasion all-out war with Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, the first apparent Israeli airstrike on central Beirut in nearly a year of conflict damaged an apartment building early on Monday, killing at least one person and wounding 16.
An official with the Lebanese Civil Defence said the person killed was a member of the al-Jamaa al-Islamiya or the Islamic Group — a Sunni political and militant group that is allied with Hezbollah. The group is not known to have played any meaningful role in the current conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
