Israel says 'center of gravity' of war moving north

Israel’s defense minister, whose country has been fighting Hamas in Gaza for nearly a year, said Wednesday that the war’s “center of gravity” is moving north, where Israel has clashed daily with Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

“The center of gravity is moving northward — resources are being allocated to this front,” Yoav Gallant said during a visit to an Israeli air base, according to a statement from his office.

“We are at the start of a new phase in the war — it requires courage, determination, and perseverance on our part.”
