Israel’s Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant briefed US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin overnight about the deadly Hezbollah attack on an army base deep inside Israeli territory.
Gallant’s press office said in a statement that the minister highlighted the severity of the drone attack, which left four soldiers dead and more than 60 injured, eight of them seriously.
He said that Israel would take a “forceful response” against Hezbollah.
Gallant also told Austin that Israel was taking “measures to maintain coordination with UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) and to avoid harm to both UNIFIL troops and civilians in the area,” according to the readout published by Gallant’s press office on Monday.
The issue of UNIFIL has become a point of contention between Israel and its allies after the UN said that the Israeli military has fired on its peacekeepers, forcibly entered its base, stopped its logistics and injured more than a dozen of its troops in southern Lebanon.
The phone call between the two officials came hours after the US announced it would deploy its THAAD missile defense system to Israel. Gallant called the decision “yet another clear reflection of the United States’ commitment to Israel’s security and to Israel’s defense against aerial threats posed by Iran and its proxies.”
