Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement to the media that "We have returned to Beaufort stronger than ever. Since the beginning of the Iron Swords War, we have eliminated 8,000 Hezbollah terrorists, since Operation Lion's Roar we have eliminated 3,000, and in the last month alone 700. I instructed the IDF to expand the maneuver in Lebanon. Our forces crossed the Litani. They seized commanding positions. They captured the Beaufort Ridge." According to him, "We will restore security to the residents of the north, just as we did for the residents of the south. It will take time, but we will complete the mission."
