The IDF held a televised press conference in the final moments, in which a spokesman repeated claims that Israeli forces are prepared for a ground invasion of Lebanon if necessary.
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari reiterated that Israel is “not looking for war” but said it will do “whatever is necessary” to ensure security on the country’s northern border.
Asked if this also applies to a war with Lebanon, he said: “Is the army prepared? Yes. The army is on full alert and we will do everything necessary to return home all our citizens to the northern border safely”, writes
