He said: “We advanced toward Ali al-Taher after receiving intelligence indicating the presence of Hezbollah command-and-control tunnels,” adding that “the Israeli army will continue to neutralize and destroy the tunnels and will deploy forces according to an appropriate tactical arrangement.”
Katz added: “We will not withdraw from the security zone until Hezbollah is disarmed throughout Lebanon.”
