Israel’s battle against terrorists
The IDF stressed that the military would continue to carry out defensive activities, including neutralizing active threats and dismantling terrorist infrastructure, which is permitted under the current Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire agreement.
The Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group began firing at Israel on October 8 2023 – a day after its terror ally in Gaza, Hamas, launched its October 7 attacks and murdered some 1200 people.
