Three weeks after the start of the Lebanon ground offensive, Israel’s military declares that it has significantly weakened the Hezbollah militia. An “abrupt end” to the attacks is possible.
More than three weeks after the start of the ground offensive in Lebanon, the Israeli armed forces say they have already significantly weakened the Shiite militia Hezbollah. “We have thoroughly broken Hezbollah’s chain of command,” said Chief of General Staff Herzi Halevi at a briefing, according to the military. There is now a possibility that the fighting could end.
Since the end of September, the Israeli armed forces have been attacking the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia in Lebanon by land and air. They are reacting to the constant rocket fire that Hezbollah began around a year ago in support of the Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Most recently, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and his presumed successor Hashim Safi al-Din were killed in Israeli air strikes.
