Israel approves new battle plans for continued ground operation in Lebanon
The military’s chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, said the army is “determined to deepen the operation until all of our objectives are achieved.”
Speaking on a visit to the northern border, Zamir said “We are preparing for what comes next and reinforcing the Northern Command with additional troops in order to strengthen the forward defensive posture, deepen the damage to Hezbollah, and push the threat away from the communities in the north.”
The army said in a statement that Zamir approved plans for “continued limited, targeted operations.”
A military spokesman said earlier on Monday that the army had deployed additional ground troops into Lebanon for what it calls a “limited and targeted operation.”
