“Israeli” defense minister Yoav Gallant continued his slew of warnings against Hezbollah, saying that the “Israeli” military can begin an offensive in Lebanon “in an instant”. 

The offensive will be “fast, surprising and sharp” – Gallant added in a meeting with soldiers of the Oded Brigade in northern “Israel”, adding that is currently approaching a decision-making crossroad.  

“We are waging a limited war in the northern region. We are using a small part of the IDF’s power, but things can change in a second, from a main effort in the south to a main effort in the north, and it will be quick, surprising, and very sharp, it can also happen as a result of [Hezbollah’s] action,” he said. 

“If Hezbollah wants to reach an agreement with us and reach a situation where it withdraws from the border line to areas beyond the Litani River as stipulated by the UN resolution, then we will reach an agreement with it. It can be while fighting Hamas and not while fighting Hamas,” he further claimed.
