Israel's Defense Minister stated Monday evening that the IDF has full freedom of action to operate decisively against any threat, saying soldiers will continue to thwart threats and destroy terrorist infrastructure in the field.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said Monday evening that the IDF has full freedom of action to operate decisively against any threat, in a statement carried by Yedioth Ahronoth. "Our soldiers will continue to thwart threats and destroy terrorist infrastructure in the field," Katz said.
The statement echoes similar language used by Prime Minister Netanyahu in recent days, who asserted full freedom of action in Lebanon amid reports of an operational pause. The Defense Minister's remarks come as the IDF continues operations along multiple fronts, including southern Lebanon where troops have been actively dismantling Hezbollah tunnel systems, as The Zioneer reported on June 19.
No specific new operation or target was identified in the minister's statement, which appeared to be a general policy affirmation.
