Israeli Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy said on Tuesday that Israel is ready to launch a military attack along the northern border with Lebanon, and that it is close to making a decision.

He added in a recorded statement, “We are ready, after extensive training, to launch an attack in the north... We are approaching the decision point.”

Halevy said, during a tour to assess the situation in the north near the border with Lebanon, on Tuesday, that the army is ready and ready to move to attack in Lebanon.

Army spokesman Avichay Adraee, in his account on the “X” platform, quoted the Chief of Staff as saying, “We are approaching the point where a decision will have to be made, and the army is ready and very prepared for this decision.”

Halevy added, "Hezbollah has increased the pace in recent days, and we are ready after a very good process that included training and even an exercise at the staff command level on moving to the attack in the north."

Almost daily exchange of shelling erupted across the border between the Israeli army on the one hand and the Hezbollah group and armed Palestinian factions in Lebanon on the other hand with the start of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip on the seventh of last October.

Hezbollah on Sunday mourned its fighters as a result of an Israeli bombing of southern Lebanon, hours after a strike that targeted a motorcycle and killed one person, according to the official agency, in light of the rising level of border tension with Israel launching targeted strikes in recent days.

The Lebanese National News Agency reported on Tuesday that a “raid from a march” targeted a “motorcycle” in Naqoura in southern Lebanon, resulting in one dead and one wounded, without specifying whether they were civilians or fighters.

Hezbollah later mourned in a statement a fighter “from the city of Tire and residents of the town of Naqoura in southern Lebanon.”

Israel also expanded the scope of its attacks, as it bombed for the second day in a row in the Western Bekaa in the east of the country without recording casualties, according to the agency.
