Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has recently addressed a meeting of military officials in Tel Aviv, during which he said strikes on Lebanon are “deepening”.
“The sequence of operations continues and will continue until we achieve our goals – to return the residents of the north safely to their homes,” he says in Hebrew.
“Ahead of us are days when the public will have to show composure, discipline and full obedience to the directives of the Home Front Command.”
About 60,000 Israelis were evacuated from their homes in the north after Hezbollah began intensifying the number of rockets it sent into Israel on 8 October 2023. They have yet to return.
