Defense Minister Benny Gantz stressed that in the next operation or war, Israeli forces will “immediately and powerfully” enter the depths of enemy territory, if need be, during a memorial ceremony for soldiers who fell during the Second Lebanon War.

“In the next operations or, God forbid, wars, when we have to reach the depths of the enemy again, these forces, which are based on both regular and reserve [forces] – will arrive immediately and powerfully, and will be a central part of the fighting,” said Gantz.
“We will activate them if required. Not lightly, but with the knowledge and understanding that the decisive capacity of the army is required, powerful, existing and ready for the tasks before us,” added Gantz.
Gantz stressed that while Israel wishes for peace, it is willing to use its “full capacity” in any arena, including Lebanon.
“Attempts to quietly sabotage our borders do not go unnoticed, and we keep our eyes open, act routinely and are prepared for extensive operations even in emergencies,” said Gantz.
