Top Israeli military generals have endorsed plans for an offensive against Lebanon, the IDF confirms. The IDF's approved offensive plans against Lebanon came into fruition late today (Tuesday).

"We are prepared to take military action if diplomatic efforts fail to address the threats posed by Hezbollah along our northern border," an IDF spokesperson added.

In response to escalating tensions along the northern border, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have approved operational plans for an offensive in Lebanon. The decision was announced following assessments conducted by General Ori Gordin, head of the IDF Northern Command, and General Oded Basiuk, head of the Operations Directorate, on Tuesday.

"The operational plans for an offensive in Lebanon were approved during our assessment today," stated the IDF in an official statement. The approval includes measures to expedite the readiness of ground forces, emphasizing Israel's preparedness to take action amidst heightened threats in the North.

The move comes in the wake of ongoing attacks by Hezbollah and allied Palestinian groups based in Lebanon, targeting northern Israel. "Israel cannot tolerate the ongoing provocations and attacks from Lebanon," warned IDF officials, highlighting the need for decisive action to protect Israeli territory.

In a statement, the IDF says the generals held a military assessment, during which “operational plans for an offensive in Lebanon were approved.” The high ranking generals also made decisions regarding “accelerating the readiness of the forces on the ground,” the military adds.

Israel has warned it can no longer tolerate Hezbollah’s presence along its border following the October 7 atrocities, and has warned that should a diplomatic solution not be reached, it will turn to military action to push Hezbollah northward in order for Israeli citizens of the north to be able to return to their homes and live in safety.
