Israeli Military Chief of General Staff Herzi Halevi said the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were ready to move to an offensive in the north. It has previously said it will cease fire when the Israeli offensive on Gaza stops. Qassem said the Lebanon front would not stop until the Gaza war stops, Al Jazeera quoted him as saying. The Israeli military said a "suspicious aerial target" that crossed from Lebanon fell in the Mount Hermon area, with no injuries reported. Attacks from Lebanon on Israel have killed 18 Israeli soldiers and 10 civilians, the Israeli military says.
