"The missions ahead of us are clear, and we are determined to ensure the safe return of Israel’s northern communities to their homes," he noted.
The approval was given in conjunction with IDF officials, among whom was Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevi.
The approval follows a series of IDF strikes in Lebanon amid the recent escalation in Israel's northern front.
Earlier on Thursday, the IDF eliminated Hezbollah's drone unit chief, Muhammad Hossein Sarur, in precise strikes in Beirut, Lebanon.
