00:00The Israel Defense Forces is conducting limited and targeted raids along Israel's northern
00:26border against the threat Hezbollah poses to civilians in northern Israel.
00:31These localized ground raids will target Hezbollah strongholds that threaten Israeli towns, kibbutzim
00:39and communities along our border.
00:42Hezbollah turned Lebanese villages next to Israeli villages into military bases, all
00:48ready for an attack on Israel.
00:51Hezbollah had prepared to use those villages as staging grounds for an October 7 style
00:57invasion into Israeli homes.
01:00Our war is with Hezbollah, not with the people of Lebanon.
01:05We do not want to harm Lebanese civilians, and we are taking measures to prevent that.
01:12We will not let 7th of October happen again on any one of our borders.
01:19We will continue doing whatever necessary so that Israeli families can return to their
01:25homes in safety and security.
