Israel Launches New Phase of War in Northern Border

The second day of explosions across Lebanon means that Israel has launched a full-on war against Hezbollah. The IDF said it was redeploying its 98th Division to northern Israel. Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said they are delivering forces, resources, and energy toward the north.

He told Israeli Air Force personnel at the Ramat David airbase that the country is at the onset of a new phase in the war, whereby the armed forces need to adapt quickly. He urged the personnel for consistency as the war requires great courage, determination, and perseverance.

Gallant added that the IDF has not forgotten the Israeli hostages held captive by the Hamas. He said they have not forgotten their task in the south.
