Israeli Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot said on Wednesday that Hezbollah remains Zionist entity’s top security priority.
Eisenkot claimed that the Lebanese resistance group suffered losses during the struggle with the Zionist enemy, but stressed: “Israel’s northern border and Hezbollah are our top priorities.”
Speaking at an event marking 11 years on July war in 2006, the Israeli chief of staff said the July war was a “severe blow” to the infrastructure of Hezbollah.
“This is in addition to the loss of two of its senior commanders in the last seven to eight years: Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed in Damascus, and another senior Hezbollah commander,” Eisenkot said, referring to Mustafa Badreddine.
However, Eisenkot highlighted the extensive battle experience that Hezbollah has gained fighting in this conflict.
“The organization is in a difficult situation, currently fighting in Syria, but don’t let that fool you. Israel’s northern border and Hezbollah are our top priorities. We have defensive plans, offensive plans, and a high level of readiness.”
