Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has given his backing to the current ground operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

“The decisions we have made in recent days are important, correct and necessary,” the Otzma Yehudit Party leader tweeted on Tuesday.

“At the same time, now is not the time to stop. We must continue doing everything, with full force, and crush the Hezbollah terrorist organization in order to safely return the residents of the north to their homes,” he continued.

“I pray for the success of the IDF soldiers who are currently fighting under difficult conditions in Southern Lebanon. The entire people of Israel stand behind them.”
