Israel’s defense minister, speaking Monday to troops near the country’s border with Lebanon, gave one of the clearest indications yet that his country intends to launch some form of ground invasion of Lebanon.
“Killing Nasrallah is a very important step, but it is not the final step,” said Yoav Gallad. “We are going to use all the capabilities at our disposal, and if anyone on the other side doesn’t understand what those capabilities entail, we are referring to all the capabilities, and you are part of that effort.”
