Israel is preparing to put boots on the ground with an invasion of Lebanon, its army chief has said.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) jets have carried out heavy bombardments of Hezbollah targets to pave the way for “your boots” to “enter enemy territory”, Lt Gen Herzi Halevi told troops on Wednesday.
It came as the Israeli army called up two brigades of reservists, around 4,000 soldiers, for operations on the northern border.
Gen Halevi, speaking during a visit to the border, said: “You hear the jets overhead; we have been striking all day. This is both to prepare the ground for your possible entry and to continue degrading Hezbollah.”
“The sense is that your military boots, your manoeuvre boots, will enter enemy territory,” he said.
