Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Sunday that the existing stage of combat against Hamas in Gaza is concluding, paving the way for Israel to deploy additional troops to its northern border to confront Hezbollah.
Netanyahu's remarks, made during an interview with Israel's Channel 14, suggested increasing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with the latter showing indications of impending conflict. He highlighted that while the Gaza operation may wind down, the conflict with Hamas is far from over, necessitating ongoing targeted operations.
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, began assaults on Israel following Hamas' October 7 attack. With fears of a broader regional conflict looming, Netanyahu remains hopeful for a diplomatic resolution but is prepared for multi-front warfare. His statements come amid growing international pressures and complex geopolitical dynamics in the region.
