Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi indicated that the ongoing conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon could continue for several more days. He made the remarks in a video statement released on Monday, which was later shared on social media by the Israeli military. His comments followed a series of rocket attacks by Hezbollah on Israel and subsequent Israeli airstrikes on Lebanese territory.

According to Lebanon’s Ministry of Health, at least 31 people were killed and 149 others injured in the Israeli airstrikes. The ministry reported that many of the wounded were civilians and that hospitals across the country were treating the injured. Officials warned that the death toll could rise as several victims remained in critical condition.

The Israeli military described its operations as an offensive campaign against Hezbollah, signaling that the confrontation may persist as both sides continue cross-border attacks.
