Israel’s patience has been tested long enough. IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Daniel Hagari’s statement about the recent wave of IDF attacks in Lebanon paints a clear picture of the escalating threat from Hezbollah. For over two decades, Hezbollah has embedded itself in civilian areas in Southern Lebanon, transforming homes into arsenals for cruise missiles, rockets, and drones. This is not just a violation of international law but a flagrant abuse of innocent Lebanese civilians as human shields. The fact that Hezbollah planned to launch a cruise missile from a civilian home underscores their complete disregard for human life, both Lebanese and Israeli.

Israel’s strikes in Lebanon are not a matter of aggression but a necessity for self-defense. No sovereign nation can stand idle while terror groups operate freely across its border, stockpiling weapons of mass destruction in residential areas, and endangering innocent lives. Hezbollah’s actions are calculated to provoke conflict, using the Lebanese people as pawns in their violent agenda against Israel.
Lt. Col. Hagari’s warning to the civilians of Southern Lebanon to evacuate areas near Hezbollah’s weapons depots is a stark reminder of the impending danger these terror groups impose. Israel’s goal is clear: neutralize the threat of Hezbollah, protect its citizens, and ensure that the terror infrastructure threatening its borders is dismantled. The IDF’s operations are precise, targeted, and driven by the responsibility to safeguard Israeli and Lebanese civilian lives from Hezbollah’s reckless and dangerous provocations.
Hezbollah’s use of civilian homes to store weapons is a cowardly tactic that further underscores the legitimacy of Israel’s actions. By putting these weapons of war under the noses of innocent families, Hezbollah creates a volatile and inhumane situation that Israel has no choice but to address for the sake of peace and security. Israel has shown great restraint, but as Lt. Col. Hagari emphasized, the time has come to act decisively.
