Israeli President Isaac Herzog claimed that the Hezbollah leaders killed on Friday in a airstrike were planning an operation similar to the October 7 massacres carried out by Hamas against Israel's civilian population.
Radwan special forces leaders met in Beirut to organize a ground invasion "by burning Israelis, butchering them, raping their women, taking hostages, old people, and little babies," Herzog said Sunday in an interview with British media outlet Sky News. He said everything was with the endorsement of the "empire of evil of Iran."
Daniel Hagari, an IDF spokesman, said that the aim of those gathered in Lebanon was to attack the north of the Jewish state, in a plan "to conquer the Galilee," as they called it. The terrorists seemed to be planning to take more hostages. "Similar to what Hamas did on October 7," he said in a statement similar to that of Herzog.
The information was released as tensions increased in the Middle East between Hezbollah and Israel, with fears of an open war.
