He also hinted at a future diplomatic resolution when he hailed the possibility of negotiations to "free" border areas that Lebanon claims Israel is occupying.
Of course, Israel will agree to no such surrender.
And Hezbollah will not voluntarily agree to Israel's demand that it withdraw to north of the Litani River, in compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 1701.

In short, the situation remains complex and dangerous. A powder keg just waiting for the match to be lit.
It has gotten to this point because Western "experts" thought they knew how best to manage the conflict over the past 40 years.
For now, Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem!

IDF special forces operating in the Khan Yunis area eliminated terrorists in close-quarters combat while neutralizing terrorist infrastructure situated within a school and other structures.
In a civilian house, the troops located many weapons, grenades, magazines and vests that were used by Hamas. Some of the tools were found in a bedroom next to dolls and children's games, including games that preach incitement against Israel.

While Hezbollah boasts that it is effectively holding northern Israel hostage, Christian Lebanese politician Samir Geagea criticizes the Iranian terrorist militia.
Geagea notes that southern Lebanon is also evacuated due to daily Israeli military action there against Hezbollah.
He was also highly critical of Hezbollah and Hamas for hiding their leaders in Beirut, and thus putting the civilian population at risk.

Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate has a unit known as the "Devil's Advocate Unit" that is charged with "relentlessly challenging all military policies and conceptions."
In the three weeks leading up to October 7, the head of this unit challenged the misconception that Hamas had been sufficiently deterred, and told military and political leaders four different times that the terror group was preparing to attack.
This assessment was presented in two separate letters to IDF and government leaders, and in two briefings with military intelligence chiefs on back-to-back days in late September.
It was ignored, or not taken seriously enough, at every turn.
Israel has the tools and procedures to prevent devastating attacks. But hubris often gets in the way.
Israel's military and political leaders thought they knew better.
They did not.

IDF Spokesman: "We have completed the dismantling of the military infrastructure of Hamas in the northern Gaza Strip.”
In northern Gaza:
- 2 Hamas brigades
- 12 Hamas battalions
- 14,000 Hamas terrorists
- 8,000 terrorists killed
- 30,000 weapons confiscated
IDF Spokesman: "Now we are focusing on dismantling Hamas in the center of the Gaza Strip and in the south of the Gaza Strip. We will do it in a different way. The center is crowded and full of terrorists. Khan Yunis has an underground city of branching tunnels. It takes time, there are no shortcuts in the fight against terrorism.”
