“Israeli” War Minister Yoav Gallant hinted at a possible escalation with Lebanese group Hezbollah in south Lebanon ahead of the summer.

Speaking to “Israeli” troops today, Gallant vowed to return the tens of thousands of settlers who were displaced due to the ongoing skirmishes between their forces and Hezbollah which has been taking place since Oct. 8, 2023.

“It could be a hot summer,” Gallant said, alluding to an escalation of the Israeli Occupation Forces' (IOF) activity on the border with Lebanon.

“We have pushed Hezbollah away from the lines of contact to significant distances, but this does not mean that it has disappeared,” he declared to army reservists in the 91st Division.

“We have very significant, very heavy firepower, and we will make sure to activate it if there is a need and a reason,” Gallant added.

“You have proven yourselves until today, I think in an impressive way,” he told the reservists of the 91st division.

“Now you have to prepare for the upcoming [missions], and this summer could be a hot summer.”
