The likelihood that Israel will be drawn into a war in Lebanon is growing, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said Wednesday, hours after Hamas terrorists fired a barrage of rockets at a northern Israel town, Report informs, citing The Times of Israel.
“I don’t know when the war in the north is,” he added. “I can tell you that the likelihood of it happening in the coming months is much higher than it was in the past.”
He added that Israel would apply lessons it had learned from fighting in Gaza should it embark on a campaign to push the Hezbollah terror group and others threatening Israel away from the border.
“We have a lot of lessons from the fighting in Gaza. Many of them are very relevant to fighting in Lebanon,” he said.
