Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared that Israel has entered a “new stage of the war” against Hezbollah. This statement comes after a series of explosions of pagers and communication devices in Lebanon, allegedly carried out by Israel.
Gallant emphasized that Israel is shifting its focus northward, reallocating resources and forces to address the conflict. He stressed the need for boldness and determination in this new phase of the war, with the ultimate goal of ensuring the safety of residents in northern communities.
Lebanon has suffered significant casualties from the explosions, with 20 people killed and over 450 injured in the recent attacks. Hezbollah has blamed Israel for the aggression and has vowed to retaliate against the attacks on civilians.
The situation remains tense as both sides prepare for further escalation in the conflict.
