Politics Israel's military chief approves new plans for the fight against Hezbollah

According to the military, Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi has approved plans "for the continuation of the war" on the northern front. The army did not give any further details. There was only talk of "plans for the northern arena", with a view to neighboring Lebanon.

Following the suspected coordinated attack on communications equipment belonging to the Shia militia Hezbollah in Lebanon, Halevi had already said on Wednesday that Israel was very determined to create safe conditions for the return of around 60,000 Israeli residents to the border area with Lebanon.

"We still have many capabilities that we have not yet deployed," said Halevi. There are already plans for the next phases. "Every time we work on a certain phase, the next two phases are already ready," said the Chief of Staff. "At every stage, the price for Hezbollah must be high."
