Are Hizbullah Withdrawals from Israel's Northern Border Merely Temporary?
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - According to senior sources, the IDF's slight escalation in the north, in the form of slightly deeper attacks against Hizbullah in Lebanon, has led the terrorist group to voluntarily pull back some of its Radwan Special Forces - either halfway or fully - from the border with Israel. Yet this could be Hizbullah seeking to lure Israel into a false sense of security. Hizbullah Chief Hassan Nasrallah may be betting that if he orders a temporary tactical withdrawal, he can gradually return his forces over time after the war. If the northern border goes quiet for a few months after the main fighting ends in Gaza, will Israel be ready to risk another major conflict, simply because a few dozen Hizbullah troops move a km. this way or that?
