Galant also said: "We will use all our capabilities." The armored troops are "part of the effort". He was confident that they could "implement everything". The goal is still the return of 60,000 Israelis who were displaced from areas along the border by the Hezbollah attacks. They are prepared to "make every effort" and deploy troops in the air, from the sea and on the ground.
The army has not yet commented on a report in the "Wall Street Journal", according to which Israeli special forces have already made small, targeted advances into the south of Lebanon. According to the unconfirmed report, the aim of the advances was to prepare for a possible ground offensive, perhaps as early as this week.
