Netanyahu asks army to 'further expand' buffer zone in Lebanon
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that he had ordered the military to “further expand” a security zone in Lebanon as Israel continues its campaign in the neighboring country.
“In Lebanon, I have just ordered the military to further expand the existing security zone,” Netanyahu said in a video statement.
“This is intended to definitively neutralize the threat of invasion (by Hezbollah fighters) and to keep anti-tank missile fire away from the border,” he added.
