Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel is ready to enter the next phase of the war.
He said they are destroying the enemy in all villages along the border, positions hezbollah wanted to use as bases for attacks against Israel.
"Israel is destroying Lebanese Hezbollah positions in all villages along the border between the two countries. We are essentially going from a state of defeating the enemy to a state of destruction, blowing up tunnels, blowing up munitions depots, dismantling Hezbollah.
Not only now are we fighting the enemy, but we are destroying them in all villages along the border, positions that Hezbollah wanted to use as bases for attacks against Israel. We are approaching the mission's completion, though there is still much to do. The IDF is preparing for further tasks, but first of all, it is conducting this operation properly," the Israeli minister said.
