Israel’s military spokesman, Brigadier General Effie Defrin, on Monday said “all options are on the table” when asked by a journalist whether Israel was going to expand its strikes on Lebanon into a ground offensive.
“We are operating in Lebanon as well in order to remove a significant threat… Bottom line, all options are on the table. We will act to disarm Hezbollah,” Defrin said in response to the question during a televised briefing.
Earlier on Monday, the military’s international spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani said there was no reason to launch a ground invasion of Lebanon “imminently” after an overnight attack from Lebanese armed group Hezbollah prompted Israel to retaliate with strikes.
