Israel is striving for the campaign against Hezbollah to be as short as possible but is prepared for it to take time, military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told reporters on Tuesday.

Hagari showed video of a strike on a house where launchers were hidden and another strike on a building followed by secondary explosions.

"We will continue to show what Hezbollah has been doing over the past 20 years, in a vast project where they have turned thousands of civilian homes in southern Lebanon and not only in southern Lebanon, into terror bases, turning southern Lebanon into a combat zone," he said.
