Israel army chief tells troops inside Lebanon that Hezbollah suffered 'heavy blow'

Israel's army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir visited ground troops in southern Lebanon on Thursday, telling them Hezbollah suffered a "heavy blow" from its major bombardment targeting the group a day earlier.

"While you are operating and advancing at the front, yesterday we delivered a heavy and powerful blow to Hezbollah. They left Dahiyeh and moved to other locations from which they managed the fight," he told soldiers.

"The objective defined for you is the removal of the direct threat to the residents of the north (of Israel), which you are carrying out on the ground."
