JERUSALEM, Apr 13 (Reuters) – Full operational control of the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil will be achieved within days, with Iran-backed Hezbollah militants limited in their ability to attack northern Israel from there, an Israeli military official said on Monday.
‘Only a small number of terrorists remain in the Bint Jbeil area,’ the official said, adding that the military ‘eliminated the terrorists as they were leaving the hospital in Bint Jbeil, in addition to locating several launchers and weapons.’
