Gantz: Ground in Lebanon will shake in future war with Israel
If Israel has to fight with Hezbollah, “the ground in Lebanon will tremble, and the Hezbollah movement will be severely hit,” Zionist regime’s War Minister Benny Gantz said on Thursday.
“Even now, in spite of the fact that Israel has the strongest armed forces in the Middle East,” there are still elements that are threatening the country with “days of battle,” Gantz said in a speech commemorating soldiers whose burial place is unknown. “And if there will be days of battle on the different fronts, it will be difficult for the Israeli home front, but it would be considerably more difficult for our enemies, Jerusalem Post reported.
“This is true in particular of Hezbollah and Hamas”, he added.
“Facing that type of threat, the IDF is prepared to use whatever force necessary. Hezbollah would take a serious hit, and Lebanon would feel it.”
Gantz’s comments come as the IDF intelligence assessed in its annual prediction of 2021 that Hezbollah is deterred and will not drag Israel into a war, but it will try to initiate “days of battle” in which the combat is limited.
