Netanyahu confirms IDF soldiers crossed Litani River, military 'operating in Beirut, Bekaa Valley'
IDF soldiers crossed to the north of Lebanon's Litani River, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Friday during a visit to Israel's northern border.
"Our forces have crossed the Litani and advanced to controlling positions," said Netanyahu, and added, "We are operating in Beirut, in the Beqaa, across the entire width of the front, and are dealing Hezbollah a crushing blow."
Netanyahu visited the border alongside Defense Minister Israel Katz and was briefed by Northern Command Chief Maj.-Gen. Rafi Milo and 36th Division Commander Brig.-Gen. Yiftach Norkin on the IDF's Lebanon operations.
"I spoke with the brigade commanders who are currently in the field," said Netanyahu. "I hear them, and I also hear the soldiers, some of whom are standing here behind me; there is an immense fighting spirit. From here, the battle against Hezbollah in the north is being managed."
