The IDF's effort to convey readiness and alertness for the spillover of fighting to the north continues: Ahead of Hezbollah Secretary General Nasrallah's expected speech, the IDF Spokesperson today (Thursday) released documentation showing our forces in operations along the northern border. "We have thousands more munitions and targets, we are ready for any development, in any arena. We will respond with an immediate and offensive response on Lebanese territory to any attack by Hezbollah," Hagari promised during his statement to the media.

"IDF forces, regular and reserve, are deployed widely and strongly in the north," IDF Spokesperson Hagari said, referring to fears of escalation on the Lebanese border. "As part of the defense effort, IDF forces carry out defensive activity including observation ambushes, patrols and initiated actions in the border area in areas adjacent to the fence, in order to strengthen the defense and remove the threat immediately. All this alongside a combined collection effort, both from the air and from the ground, which are in high readiness and alertness."
"At the same time, IDF forces are carrying out training to increase the capabilities of the forces, and there are broad operational plans that are ready for immediate implementation and implementation," the IDF Spokesperson said. To illustrate his statement, footage was published of Egoz fighters neutralizing a terrorist squad near the border:

"As part of the offensive effort, the forces are carrying out significant offensive activity in the border area - eliminating terrorists and destroying terrorist infrastructure of the Hezbollah terrorist organization by closing rapid circles of fire and intelligence," Hagari continued. "The Northern Command works closely with units from a variety of branches. The air force, artillery forces, and the commando formation are on high alert in order to provide an immediate and offensive response on Lebanese territory to any Hezbollah attack."

In addition, in view of the missile fire from Yemen into Israeli territory, the commander of the 140th Squadron, Lieutenant Colonel M., made it clear that the Air Force is prepared for action even in distant arenas. "We are focused on the Gaza arena but are prepared to increase the scope of attacks in other sectors as well. We carried out very significant attacks that harm the Hamas regime in Gaza. At the same time, the Air Force's capabilities have not yet been fully realized, we have thousands more munitions and targets. We are prepared for developments in any arena – near and far."
