The head of the Israeli military, Eyal Zamir, said on Monday that the army had launched 'an offensive campaign against Hezbollah', warning that the operation could last 'many days' as the conflict intensifies on the country's northern border. The Israeli Army has mobilized 100,000 reservists in anticipation of what it described as a 'multi-scenario' conflict. Meanwhile, there was no information about injuries or damage, but this incident marked the first such attack since the November 2024 ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, which formally ended the conflict with Hezbollah, according to Israeli public radio. The action took place two days after U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. 'We must prepare for many days of combat ahead,' Zamir stated during a situation assessment at the Army General Headquarters in Tel Aviv. According to a Xinhua report accessed by the Argentine News Agency, he added: 'This requires strong defensive preparation and sustained offensive action, operating in continuous waves constantly taking advantage of opportunities.' The announcement came after Hezbollah, the Iran-aligned Lebanese group, joined the conflict by launching missiles and drone attacks overnight towards Israel.
