"By now the terror organization has less than a third of the rockets and missiles it had," said Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, APA reports citing Ynet.
"Since the start of the war, Hezbollah has launched more than 14,000 rockets and missiles at Israel, and months of intense Air Force strikes have destroyed many more," added Gallant.
In addition, Gallant and Toledano said Hezbollah’s high command has been eliminated almost entirely.
“Until now, it was a man [the killed leader Hassan Nasrallah] who had an organization and an organization that had a country. Now the man is no more, and there is a weakened organization.”
They also explained that ground operations were progressing as planned, according to specific tactical objectives, including clearing the rural areas between southern Lebanon’s villages, as well as the towns themselves, of Hezbollah infrastructure.
