Netanyahu: IDF Will Remain In Lebanon Security Zone Until Hezbollah Threat Is Neutralized
Netanyahu said Israeli forces will keep destroying Hezbollah sites and stay in the zone until the group no longer threatens Israel.
- On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Lebanon Security Zone, telling soldiers Israel will not withdraw until Hezbollah no longer poses a threat to Israeli security.
- Military operations have established a buffer zone about 10 km into Lebanon, where Israeli forces claim to have killed approximately 9,000 militants while reducing Hezbollah's arsenal from 150,000 to about 8% of original capacity.
- Netanyahu issued an "ironclad directive" for troops to neutralize threats, with Hezbollah retaining around 12,000 rockets; at least 32 Israeli soldiers and over 4,000 Lebanese have died since March.
- Last Friday, Israel and Lebanon reached a U.S.-backed security agreement involving two "pilot zones." Hezbollah rejected the deal, with Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem urging followers to "repent from the sins that are destroying Lebanon."
- Netanyahu warned the agreement, a "slap in the face" to the Iranian axis, "will not necessarily pass quietly." Israel aspires to restore security and prosperity for residents of the North and Lebanon.
