Israel Reduces Troops in North, Gallant Warns of ‘Devastating’ Beirut War

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has recently indicated that Israel is gearing up for a possible conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon, predicting severe consequences for Lebanon if such a war occurs.

Gallant warned that an Israeli military operation in the north would lead to the devastation of both Lebanon and Hezbollah. He emphasized that while the impact on Haifa would be significant, the repercussions for Beirut would be catastrophic.

He previously mentioned that Israeli forces are poised to take action near the northern border with Lebanon, suggesting that the military is strengthening its readiness for potential future developments.

In related news, Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Wednesday that the Israeli military is reducing its troop presence in northern Israeli communities. Instead, these areas will be monitored by local security teams who are tasked with responding to any hostile activities until Israeli forces can intervene.
