IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir toured the Beaufort Castle area in southern Lebanon on Sunday and descended into a major Hezbollah tunnel network built under the ridge. He called on the Lebanese Armed Forces to uphold the ceasefire agreement by clearing Hezbollah operatives from areas outside IDF control, and warned the military is ready to launch a rapid offensive if the truce is violated.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir today demanded that the Lebanese Armed Forces clear Hezbollah operatives from southern Lebanon, warning that the IDF is ready to launch a rapid offensive if the ceasefire is violated. The call, made during his tour of the Beaufort Ridge, marks the latest iteration of a message he has repeated throughout the day's visits to the strategic ridge and its underground tunnel network. By 14:59 Jerusalem, the desk had published eight consecutive updates from the same tour, each adding a layer of detail: from initial reports of the tour itself, to Zamir's description of the ridge as 'saturated' with terror infrastructure, to his statements that Hezbollah is exhausted and now relies on Iran to save it, and his specific directive to the Lebanese army regarding the area outside IDF control.
