Israel says will not allow Hezbollah to return to border areas after troops withdraw

Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Sunday vowed to prevent Hezbollah from returning to fighting positions along the border, even after the Israeli military withdraws from the area.

“Even once [Israeli] troops withdraw, we will not allow Hezbollah terrorists to return to these areas,” said Gallant during a visit to an observation post overseeing southern Lebanon.
