IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said Israeli troops have "full freedom of action" to act against any threat, amid a ceasefire with Hezbollah.

He stated that troops continue to operate at the Beaufort Castle area and Ali Taher ridge, to demolish major Hezbollah tunnel systems which serve as the terror group's "central command centers."

Hezbollah is fighting a defensive battle to prevent our forces from completing the destruction of these infrastructures.

Defrin added:

Hezbollah is the one that violated the ceasefire. It is trying to defend its capabilities it built over the years.

He emphasized that troops "have full operational freedom of action, to remove threats in any area."

There is no limit [concerning] removing threats.
