The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has ordered the Israeli army "IDF" to prepare for an intense war if the Lebanese group "Hezbollah" violates the ceasefire, reports The Times of Israel.
"I have given the IDF instructions." If there is a serious breach of the agreement, we will not only act surgically, as we are doing now, but also with force, every time. I stated that if there is a serious violation of the agreement, I have instructed the IDF to prepare for an intense war," the publication quotes the Israeli Prime Minister.
In response to a question about why Israel is not creating a buffer zone in southern Lebanon, Netanyahu noted that "the threat of a ground invasion has been removed."
According to him, the IDF has destroyed the ground infrastructure at the border, including underground bunkers and tunnels.
As previously reported, Israeli military forces and the Lebanese Shiite group "Hezbollah" agreed to a ceasefire, which took effect on November 27. Later, HAMAS issued a statement indicating that it is ready for an agreement regarding Gaza, but it must include an end to the war and the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the enclave.
Netanyahu has ordered preparations for "intensive warfare" should Hezbollah breach the ceasefire.
