President Isaac Herzog said that a recent gathering of top Hezbollah commanders in Beirut was convened to plan an attack on Israel similar to the October 7 assault by Hamas. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that it eliminated many of the top commanders of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force in a Friday airstrike that collapsed the building where the meeting was being held. The meeting was reportedly called to work on a longstanding plan for a major invasion of the northern Galilee region. Herzog spoke to Sky News amid a surge in violence over the weekend in the conflict with Hezbollah that started as a result of the war in the Gaza Strip.
