IDF: Hizbullah Has Been Defeated


(Israel Hayom) Yoav Limor - Maj.-Gen. Ori Gordin, head of the IDF Northern Command, told Israel Hayom that "the reality in the north has changed" and that "we fulfilled the mission. The situation is safe, and it is completely different now.... Today, it is safe to live here. The north will return to what it was, and much more. This begins with the security changes we implemented." "We have set Hizbullah back decades. Its leadership has been almost entirely eliminated, from [Hizbullah leader] Nasrallah to the last of its commanders in various sectors and strongholds. Thousands of terrorists have been neutralized, killed in battle or taken out in targeted strikes. More than 70% of Hizbullah's firepower has been destroyed, and it can no longer mount an effective strike." "We have dismantled the Radwan Unit's defense, weapons stockpiles, and infrastructure. The Radwan forces and Hizbullah are incapable of invading the Galilee. Many terrorists have been eliminated or wounded, significantly reducing the threat of a northern incursion. The mission is not yet over, we must ensure that our achievements are preserved, that Hizbullah does not approach the frontline area." "Our readiness to resume fighting is extremely high. Hizbullah has been defeated, certainly on the operational and tactical military levels....We are establishing a military outpost in every community along the confrontation line."
