Jerusalem: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel was “prepared for a very intense operation” along the border with Lebanon, where Israeli troops have exchanged near-daily fire with Hezbollah fighters.
Exchanges between Israel and the Hezbollah movement, have intensified over the past week, with repeated Israeli strikes deeper into Lebanese territory.
“We are prepared for a very intense operation in the north. One way or another, we will restore security to the north,” Netanyahu said during a visit to the border area earlier on Wednesday.
