The agreement with Lebanon allows Israel to take action
against emerging threats, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on
Monday, adding that the “security zone” established in Lebanon aims at
preventing any potential “infiltration” from Lebanon into northern Israel.
In a conference of the Israeli Army senior command, Netanyahu
affirmed that Israeli forces continue operations within the security zone as
well as in areas north of the Litani River. “Operations in Lebanon are ongoing,
as continued threats posed by Hezbollah’s rockets and drones,” he stated, addressing
that Hezbollah’s missile and drone capabilities would contribute to broader
disarmament efforts. “The group currently retains about 10% of the arsenal it
held at the start of the war,” he claimed.”
Netanyahu suggested that disarming Hezbollah from rockets
and drones will assist the US-brokered talks with Lebanon, calling the senior Israeli
militaryofficers in the audience that he expects them “to solve these two
problems, because on the diplomatic side, I believe we will be able to resolve
things, if we have resolved this.”
